@@Aporro1 Speed isn't the only thing that matters. Sure, if you are a heavy gamer, you would probably want to invest in a decently sized SSD. If you are just using the machine for office use and are saving files and such, an SSD would be a waste. The HDD that I have on my machine has all my work on it. I don't really notice any differences in load times between my M.2 and the HDD for those (because it's not like the files are gigabytes in size). If you are in that situation, why spend 2-3 times as much on an SSD when you could get an HDD that probably has 2-3 times more storage space? I agree, SSDs are the better option in most cases and it's good to have at least a low-capacity SSD to boot Windows from, but HDDs are certainly the best for mass storage and a standard office setting.

Well, a 1TB MVMe SSD from Intel isnt much more than $130. We're still at that lull between the death of the commonality of the terabyte and the rise of peta. Most average users would have more than enough storage space that it wouldnt matter. An 8TB NVMe, unless for content creation or other business level use case, is overkill.

[@nephatrine]

@@SethMacMillan I agree 8 is overkill for most, but I need at least 3-4 tb and even that costs too much in nvme form. Doing 1tb nvme and a 3tb wd hdd is currently the most effective way for me to get the storage I need, performance I need, and keep the cost not outrageous. For folks who need 3-4 tb and don't need every bit of it to be high-performance, it's really hard to justify anything but a hard drive imo.

The Blue/Purple is the PCIeX2 SSD as you can see it's bottlenecked . The Red/Green is the PCIeX4 Sabrent Rocket. It performs pretty much twice the speed. The theoretical maximum speed a PCIeX2 could run at is [speed of PCIe3.0 1000MB/s x2 =] 2,000 MB/S .. but that doesn't account for overhead. What this means is.
