Seriously, these things are nuts. I recently got a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro and love it. Plenty of room for all my games plus OS (as I just recently moved my user data over to my primary side >.> ).
yep I run a WD VelociRaptor 1tb for games, everything else is on 3 ssd's of 256gb and 120gb.
I like multiple drives in case 1 fails I don't lose important stuff in large amounts as they are all backed up on multiple external hdds
For my desktop, 128GB Sammy 840 Pro is big enough since I'm not a gamer. I could justify the cost of 500GB 840 EVOs for my notebooks but 1TB was just a wee bit too steep for me and I don't really need that much storage.
I have trouble justifying dropping 450+ on a ssd...i just keep adding cheap ssd's when I need them. My 256gb x2 raid-0 mx100's are stupid fast and just had to add one to the one i own and create a windows raid in less than a minute. I have 8+ modern blockbuster games on it and have 231gb's leftover. Next time I need space I will just add another.
I would like to replace my Corsair Force 3 250GB with a 500GB Samsung 840 Evo soon though. That would allow me to have everything I want on the system drive and use the Force 3 purely as a games drive and get rid of the old Intel 320's...
Not everyone can shell out $700 for a high capacity SSD especially the PRO version from Samsung, and honestly for gaming its a waste, as cheaper SSD's will do exactly the same thing, decrease loading times. Plus that money would be better spent on new GPU, new monitor or cpu/mobo combo for example.
