500gb or 1tb?

NoNameNoNumber · 21 Dec 2009 at 21:29

i dont think ill fill 1tb in a hurry and i think 500gb would probably be enough but i fancy a samsung f3 1tb drive, that way i know ive got plenty of space and it seems to get good reviews. would there be any benefits to having just 500gb or not?
any help much apreciated

its personal requirements tbh but considering its about 30£ for double your storage but i guess its up to bud the advantage of having 500gb is it will take less time to format but speed wise i think its neglible

1tb it is then... i dont think id benefit massively from two 500's in RAID 0 or 1 either.

My motto as far as hard disks are concerned is to get the biggest you can afford, worry about filling them up or not at a later date.

The more storage you have the more you want to store.
I'm currently almost at full capacity here with 5.5TB+

I remember the days we fitted a 10GB drive to our machine.
"More storage than any man could want."

I know what you mean, I've got 4tb in my home PC and 1.5tb external and I'm already looking at replacing the pair of 500gb drives I have with 1.5tb versions.
