Ridiculous. What's the biggest SSD now? 250 gig? Meanwhile HDDs are up to 8, sometimes 12 TB! You fail.

Or, you know, what Eric said.

It very much depends on priorities. For gaming, software development* and various other things, an SSD can be amazing. It's not going to buy you much of an advantage if you're just going to read things, watch Netflix and listen to music, so it's all about what one needs to do with it.

*Loading a Unity project on a standard HDD takes forever, for example, but this is of course not exactly something that concerns your average computer user.

I wholly misspoke. I'm under the influence of a controlled substance. Thank you all for the corrections :beer: What I MEANT TO SAY was that a SSD has a much faster write speed, isn't affected by magnets and has no moving parts, making it ideal for most solutions, albeit expensive compared to traditional HDD's.

SSD's actually go up to 2TB! Around $500 for that.

Didn't know that. I assumed they were small but fast. Mind you, a 4 tb HDD will set you back a mere 100 Euro or so, so still the HDD option for me with regard to storage.

Get this to store your MB posts.. It holds 20TB

Also, for someone like you I'd spend the money on the extra storage instead of the speed. I don't see you taking advantage of the SSD.

I'll take two.

You're right of course. No matter how much storage I get it will never be enough, and speed for me will always end up being a secondary priority.

Under my DNS Servers in OSX I Have one listed that looks like hexadecimal separated by colons with the first set separated by two colons. Is this a valid format for a DNS server?
