240GB or 480GB SSD? (Amazon sale, what would you do?)

Mattib 050 · Dec 26, 2014

Okay, so I won't be building a new PC until around April this year, so I wasn't going to buy any parts until then. But there's a Crucial m500 480GB SSD for sale on amazon, and it's only £115 (new, sold by amazon, it's in the boxing day sale). If I don't buy this, then I'll be getting the 240GB version when I decide to actually build the pc later this year.
Should I wait until I build and buy a 240GB drive for around £75-80 then, or buy the 480GB drive now and just keep it stored away? What would you do?

Definitely go for the 480 GB SSD - this is my personal choice too over the 240. Use it in your present computer as an auxilliary drive until you are ready to use it in your new build! Happy Boxing Day!

Well, it's a good offer, but it's hard to say if the prices will drop between now and april, a natural disaster destroying nand-factories might mean that prices go up.

I'd probably get the 480GB now and use it in current laptop/desktop and just move it when you buy the rig.

If you plan to be an average user and simply put the OS on the SSD and use another drive for storage, wait and get the 240 because you won't need any more space than that. If you're going to use the SSD as actual storage, get the 480.

That's ordered, and it only ended up costing me £104 because I had some vouchers as well

Thanks for all the answers, just bagged me double the storage space for less than £30 extra!
