My two laptops have a 500GB and a 960GB SSD respectively. Something unimaginable as recently as a couple of years ago.
Now we are jealous
I have been looking at SSDs for years, but unwilling to pay the price. I need way bigger than 64/128G for a desktop/laptop. Of course I only reboot every second Thursday so SSD not that important.
