Hi all,
I'm currently speccing up a new build, my first for many years so I'm happy to go all-out and get close to the best in every component type.
Probably looking at a Samsung 512gb 950 Pro M.2. My only quandary is whether I get this drive on it's own and use it as the Boot drive as well as every day applications and games, or should I get another SSD or HDD for media/backup etc?
In the past, I'd have always had ample spare drives and capacity for MP3 collection, movies, pictures and all that jazz. But I think my usage habits have changed now, to where I have almost no media stored locally, I stream everything, or have online drives to get access to certain files.
I realise this sounds like I'm answering my own question, but wanted to put it out there as I'm interested to hear from people who have done similar and perhaps later encountered scenarios where they wish they'd gone for extra storage on a 2nd/3rd drive.
FWIW, I have a barely used Western Digital Caviar 500GB HDD that for the sake of giving it some use will likely go in too, but that isn't a massive amount of additional storage.
Cheers
