I have a ~10TB RAID array on my old PC that I share on the network for storage, so that should be all the hard drive space I need on the new PC.
Why 860 Pro? You can get the same/faster performance as those two drives in RAID with just 1x 1TB 970 EVO ($150). No SATA cables makes the build much neater, too.

One advantage of No Rush shipping (apart from credits), makes it easier to cancel orders. Got the MX500 2TB for $222 - 20% this morning and when I checked just now, it went down to $184 - 20%. Woohoo, decent 2TB SATA SSD for $150.
