How much SSD space is in your main system?

Got the Intel 750 400GB as my boot drive and a 1TB Samsung 850 for programs...

Also have 3 mechanical HDs as well - 1 Seagate 6TB enterprise drive as well as 2 Seagate 8TB drives...
 
1.5 TB. I have an 8GB mechanical, but with my next upgrade will be going all SSD. With the prices dropping the way they are, no reason not to.
 
256gb sandisk, plus whatever ssd capacity my 2x 2tb ssd/hdd combo drives have. I think its 8gb per drive.
 
!sdt SSD was a 120GB Corsair back probably when u bouught yours...now I have a macbook pro 13 late 2013 with 256gb, MSI GS60 Ghost (860m) with 2X128GB M2 in raid 0 and a 1TB SSD, Main rig had 840PRO 120Gb boot, 250GB EVO 850, OCZ 250GB, A old as heck COrsari 256GB SSD, have a couple of 500gb 850 EVo that Are going on son when I do a case swap.....MAc Mini Running Sandisk 480GB SSD, after going that route I just cant look back only use mechanicalk drives on my NAS for storage til large SSDs come into their own.
 
I have a 240gb SSD as my C drive. Wish it was more because my User profile gets pretty big, and Windows doesn't like moving some important stuff to another, more spacious drive (as I have found out and was surprised that it wasn't supported properly).
 
Not sure what my main PC is. The family laptop (which is probably the main PC) has an SSHD only. My personal laptop (Dell XPS 13, thanks to the TechSpot recommendation) has a 500GB drive (Samsung 850 Evo). The HTPC has the 120GB drive that came with the Dell (had a 60GB drive until the upgrade).
 
I had a 128GB Crucial M4 SSD from 2013 to 4 months ago. I was struggling to install the newer/bigger games for quite some time.

When I upgraded my PC, I got a 750GB SSD (Crucial MX300). My HDD was also dying so I got a 4TB drive. As long as I can fit 3-4 games at a time in there it's enough for me.

So basically now I have infinite storage as far as I'm concerned ^_^

I think NVMe's are too expensive and the speed is overkill for general use and gaming (which is what I do).

I've got 2.5 TB of SSD storage. Main Drive Samsung 850 pro 512GB and 2x Samsung 1TB 850s. I also have 2 Seagate 4TB standard hard drives.
 
Had a Samsung SM951 512GB NVMe M.2 that I sold, while I wait for the SM961 1TB to replace it I'm using a Samsung 840 120GB SATA drive.
For storage I also have a 800GB Intel 910 PCIe SSD.

I think I need to look into upgrading my mechanical storage drives though :D
Code:
/dev/sdb1                          279G  272G  7.2G  98% /mnt/cheetah
/dev/sda2                          4.0T  4.0T  8.2G 100% /home/4TB

I don't have an SSD but I'm looking to get one and I'll only use it as a Windows partition. So 120GB is likely what I'm gonna get since I don't get past 30GB on system partition.
 
Unfortunately I got the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB three years ago. Want non malfunctioning and larger drive.
 
A one TB drive for the main OS, not nearly full. I find the cost vs. benefit ratio to be more in my favor to use standard drives for data; RAID seems to be easier to configure too. But as the prices continue to drop I will eventually move that direction in all my computer.
 
No SSD here and I have no intention to buy one in the future, except it will be cheap with more cacpacity (1T+ )
 
256 GB Samsung 850 Pro

More then enough space since I font download large files like movies, and only have a couple games at a time. Could probably make do with 128 GB if I wanted to.
Yeah, I'm still using a single 120gb Vertex 3 SSD and several HDD but it's annoying. Doom 2016 alone weights 60gb so I had to install it on a HDD. I didn't remember just how long it takes to load a game from a HDD...
I'm delaying buying a new unit since I will want windows 10 to be on the new drive and I currently don't have much time to mess with a fresh window 10 installation. I have my eyes on a Samsung 850 Evo 250gb, what do you think about it? Will I notice any speed difference at all?

Cheers
