    Main PC:
    1x 250GB Samsung 850 SSD - OS and Programs
    1x 128GB Crucial M4 SSD - Scratch Disk/Page File (kept from old pc)
    2x 1TB Western Digital Blue - Work Asset Storage/Downloads/Backups/Normal Doc storage etc
    1x 1.5TB Seagate something or other - Media, ie music and videos, Storage (kept from old pc)
    Also have a Pioneer BDXL blu ray for archiving data.

    I do kind of need more storage so might be swapping out the 1.5TB for a larger one soon or I may just get another nas instead.

    Not as much as there was yesterday - I think the click of death got something overnight.... Yet to establish what it was... :S

    Edit: 250Gb SSD - Windows Partition, Music and Something else
    160Gb HDD - Games and stuff

    1x1TB SSD
    3x8TB HDD
    4x4TB HDD

    If anyone can explain to me why £ per TB has remained stagnant for the past 10+ years I would be pretty happy to hear a legit answer.

    There was a flood a while back in Asia which damaged HDD factories so it lead to a shortage and prices went up. However,even when said factories were repaired and everything went back to normal,the HDD companies stuck with the inflated pricing whilst also cutting back on warranties.

    A lot less than there used to be

    1tb SSD as main drive
    250gb SSD as steam drive 1
    150gb SSd as steam drive 2
    3TB "data" drive
    2TB "Data 2" drive

    Of that only 40% or so is in use. It's all backed up to amazon Glacier too - which is mostly why the space i use has dropped...more and more of my stuff goes in the cloud now, and less and less is stored locally. More reliable, cheaper, and given how fast & pervasive internet connections are now it's just not necessary to have everything locally.

    1 x 512 gb Samsung 960 M2
    1 x 2tb Seagate SSHD

    Then there's a Synology NAS
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.
