2Tb Samsung SSDs incoming

you only need enough ssd/fast storage for the os,the rest a mechanical hdd will do

ill wait till they come down to around £150,i guess ill be in for a long wait
 
We need SSD prices to continue dropping so average Joe can afford them, 500GB is enough for me atm as I can fit my whole steam library on it if I wanted to. Hopefully within 10 years the SSD will have almost completely replaced the HDD.
 
Crap I just bought 2x 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSDs few weeks ago and now Samsung launch 2TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD! I expected Samsung to launch 860 series but they stick with current 850 series for now.

After saw the price, £635 for 2TB EVO. LOL oh boy I am glad I bought 2x 1TB SSDs at OCUK on crazy low price, will have to wait until Windows 10 hit RTM and will install Windows 10 on SSD.

Guess I have to wait next year in 2016 when 2TB EVO price will drop to around £250 then I will get one. :D
 
Indeed been waiting for this.. and so it begins, this is just the start of the V-NAND revolution. 500GB and above MSRP deffo needs to come down but no supprise it's still quite high with the competition yet to show their V-NAND hands.

Had to edit video on HDDs the other day, wasn't nice when you've been using SSDs.

Going forward HDDs need to reposition themselves as backup drives, bigger and cheaper, that's the only way I see them surviving when SSDs really ramp up the capacity and inevitably take over as the primary media.

Just you :P

Buy I have to ask, why?

1. Fit a lot more inside the bigger chassis.
2. Possibly lower prices since everything doesn't need to be as small.
3. Cases are ready made to fit 3.5" drives so no messing about with caddies.

3.5" enclosures won't decrease cost anymore. V-NAND changes the game, it's no longer how many chips you can fit into an enclosure/onto a cuircuit board, rather how many layers you can stack in a single NAND package. That's where the cost saving comes from now.

SanDisk I think have mentioned a 16TB SSD by 2016. Presumably enterprise class but it shows the technology is moving very rapidly. There are also a lot of big players competing in this space. Once they hit the right cost/GB there will be a lot of money to be made as consumers make the switch.

Not for everyone. I've gone all SSD on my main PC and I'll never go back to mechanical drives for anything but a storage server or a machine I'm not going to be using much.

Can't say I would ever want a 3.5" version. I'm looking forward to the day case manufacturer's ditch the 3.5" bay just like they have started to do on the 5. 25" bays. I've not had a mechanical drive in my system for a number of years now and never will again.
 
I see the point about filling up a 3.5" drive to the gunnels with SSD chips. That would be pretty awesome, if not crazy expensive.
