So I am back in the market for another SSD. Right now I am running a 256GB Pro Series in my laptop, and I love it!
I recently finished up a desktop build using a 120GB Kingston that I got cheap from New Egg for the OS drive and have a 500GB laptop drive left over from the SSD swap that I am using for my storage drive until it gets full.
I was looking at the 1TB Samsung EVO and was curious to know what everyone though about using it as a storage drive? I found it for $440 and wanted to snag it up for that price before its gone.
I know that some people say the SSDs aren't good for storage as the writes kill them over time, but why make a 1TB SSD if you cant fill it up? Right?
I do a lot of file moving and backups (backing up client websites from FTP) and sometimes it takes way to long on a regular hard drive which is why I am considering the SSD for storage.
So , my question is - should I get the 1TB EVO for storage, or stick with a traditional 4TB HD?
