3D NAND: I need a bigger paycheck...

Maybe if I get a decent tax refund, I could see myself owning one of these:

Though expensive, the potential lifespan of the drive makes the low level of depreciation a solid deciding factor in favor. Maybe the price will drop a bit over time...

 

Crazy price. Nice warrantee. But, it only covers the drive, not the data on it. Once the price has dropped, it will be an ideal backup drive.

BTW My 80GB IDE HDD is almost 10 years old.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping soon, by the time I do decide to buy this, the prices will come down. I have an upgrade path, and the 850 pro 1TB is the 3rd on the list. Mostly to run VM's off of it. Running a 1 TB 10k drive just doesn't cut it.
