Why I stopped buying small SSDs to “save money”
Whether you're building a new PC or adding more storage to your existing one, you might consider saving money by buying a 500GB or 250GB SSD. The thought seems logical at first, but it'll come back to bite you sooner rather than later. The rate at which modern operating systems, games, creative applications, and AI programs are expanding in size makes almost every SSD feel too small. If I'm being realistic, however, most people should have at least 2TB of SSD storage on their PC. Anything less than that is on a pretty fast clock to obsolescence. A tiny SSD doesn't save you money; it forces you to spend more in the long run. It's also more susceptible to slowdown and has a lower lifespan than larger drives.
