In spite of the glorious nature of SSD's, the price per gigabyte still rests with ye olde mechanical platters, and since the need for mass storage remains I've elected to grab one of these little bundles of joy.
By design it will be responsible for carrying day to day media, work documents and games (which are surprisingly sizeable), all backed up to a second disconnected external drive of the portable variety. I suspect at some point there may very well be some involvement with NAS, but that is definitely for another day. Originally I looked to a 1Tb model to get the ship sailing, but when it became clear that there was likely to be some manner of gaming involved space requirement went up a little. To be fair it didn't exactly break the bank - £38ish for 1Tb, £55ish for 2Tb.. foregone conclusion really. This may still prove to be light in the long run, but for now it should suffice. As I said in a previous blog, I've been running full tilt on a 320Gb drive up to now, so it'll be a cosy convenience for the foreseeable future.
