... the cheaper the 16TB SSD are gonna be. Take all your time Asobo 🤣.

 That is the first conclusion I draw from Adrien’s video posted by Noooch and a first scan at online shops

PS Please Asobo, DO NOT take me seriously.

Man do yourself a favour and get even a cheap SSD just for the OS, it's an insane difference.

Windows onto SSD is THE BEST single upgrade one can make to their PC IMO. Makes a hell of a difference! Not so much use installing game etc but there is a noticeable difference.

Well, then get ready to have your mind blown when you do! For everyday use this is the best possible upgrade by far, and pretty cheap.

As others have said, just get one.

 

I have 3 SSD's and a HD with SSD Cache. When I look at my Benchmarks the difference is apparent.

The HD comes in at reading 95 MB/s, the fastest SSD at 511 MB/s. That should give you an idea.

Could well be cheaper all round Motherboard sales dropped by 10% Q4 2019, they may have a problem selling in 2020 they expect a downturn in the PC industry.

The first thing I did when I bought a gaming desktop PC back in 2015 was to transfer Win 10 from the hard drive to my SSD card.

with the chinese virus and the borders shutdowns plus the intricated international shipping from china, as well as the  sanitary and welfare backups, the prices go up and so  expect all chinese electronics to be more expensive in the near future.

I am not an economics expert, or hobbyist.  But couldn't prices also drop, or stay the same?

I looked at some parts, and don't see any changes yet.

I only just bought my first SSD earlier this year!  I still have three old spinny drives in my PC, I'm even still booting off of one!

 

I'm building a totally new PC closer to MFS release, and you can bet it will be full of SSD's this time.

If you do, get the 2nd gen ones that have read speeds of 2000 or more.  First gen was about 500, so it is worth the speed increase.  And Samsung has some very reliable drives.  They have different lines, some are made to handle more rewrites than others.
