Why can you not live with less than 500GB for your main system drive?

games , apps and what not , i would be putting most things on my other drives but i want a bit of room to play with for editing and capping game footage bascily i need a fast drive for my cutting room floor i also need space for that capping in HD-

You would do fine with a 256GB SSD. The OS will only take up about 20GB with drivers and updates and games only benefit from being on an SSD when it comes to loading times, NOT during gameplay. You can have every program/application you use installed on an SSD and not make a dent in it. I have Win 7, all programs and 3 full games loaded on my SSD and am using less than half of my 128GB drive. I think you could be comfortable with a 256GB drive. You just need to remap or redirect your Users folder to a mechanical hard drive because pictures, videos, documents, etc don't benefit from being on an SSD at all.

Here is the new line of SSD's from Samsung.

Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
Samsung 840 EVO 750GB
Samsung 840 EVO 1TB

hmm yea konw that 1tb is mighty tempting , will they ship overseas and is that the cheapest ?

 

[kbrady1979]

That's probably the cheapest 1TB drive, and I don't know if you can get it in your location from a semi-local place. What I'm saying is, you don't NEED a 1TB C: drive. You would be fine with a smaller SSD for your OS/programs, and a hard drive for your user data.

NewEgg will not ship to Australia, and even if they did, the freight charge would be quite high given the distance. PCCaseGear is as good as you can get, unless you have a local shop.
