World's first 6 TB SSD is expected to go on sale at some point this summer with 15nm MLC flash

[QUOTE=Xubs;47695229]Are you willing to pay $500-800 USD for storage? When 1TB of SSD is $500~ baseline while 6TB of HD space can be as affordable as $250? If that doesn't sound affordable to you, then no.

Still best to buy small and dual it with a hard drive if you want to get in on solid state this early. I don't think this announcement is going to change that, at least not yet. Especially since their announced price for the initial release of the baseline 1TB model from these guys, Fixstars, is $820.[/QUOTE]

You can get a 1tb for well under $400

[QUOTE=SgtTupelo;47695581]I want to buy a big, fast PCI-E SSD. Too bad they cost about as much as a car here:

Wait for the newly released Intel 750 to come to your country. 400gb PCIe SSD for $400.

[QUOTE=Pine Cone;47698376]So, what's the benefit in that for spending the extra $400~ for their 1tb drive if the speeds are the same as a Samsung or Crucial drive that's half the price?[/QUOTE]

I don't get it, what's $400 more? That drive isn't even $400.

You can get a Samsung 1TB drive for around ~$400, same speeds as measured on Fixstars 1tb Drive priced at $820. What is the benefit of buying this drive that costs twice as much?

Ah, nothing you'd notice as a normal consumer. Looks like they're more geared at enterprise. Those drives are always more.

Err the 850 Evo you linked to costs $380 for 1TB, Crucial MX200 costs $429 and the older 840 Evo costs $480 for 1TB.
Nevermind read above.

He, Australians getting this cheaper than a 1 TB Drive.

[QUOTE=Robber;47695720]A ludicrous amount of writes though.

And it only gets better with larger SSDs.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Proper write leveling can make SSDs last exponentially longer the larger they get iirc

I'm waiting for the next-gen replacement for SATA3 for SSD's (SATA Express I believe) and the replacement for AHCI (NVMe) before I upgrade from my nice 840 that's been serving me well as my primary OS drive.

Got a nice 2TB HDD for my mass storage and games.

[QUOTE=.Lain;47695341]waste of money for anyone willing to spend that much in an SSD considering the dumb as bricks SataIII bottle neck[/QUOTE]

I'd love some cheap high capacity SATA III SSD's that run at like 300/300 though. That'd freaking kill a majority of hard drive sales. Like $0.10/gb and I'd be sold.

[Wazbat]

I have a 90gb SSD and a 2 tb HDD, never changed hard drives before, how would I go about replacing the SSD with a larger one but keeping everything, including the OS, on it?
Would I have to format both of them?

[Lowland]

A small SSD drive plus a large HDD drive is the best combination.
