How much do you need?

The days of 32K (that's "kay") being a ton of memory are long gone. Storage? You mean cassette tapes??? ;) Marc

Still, I cannot understand why windows need 16Gb, or a printer driver 4Gb, ... I think memory is too cheap, and everybody goes the easy way of not caring about storage space anymore. Long see optimization... I had the secret hope that the requirement of "everything" being "downloadable from our website" would refrain from proposing gb downloads with 4 figures , but it does not seem to be the case. So I had to wait 45min for playing a game loaded on tape 25 years ago, now I have to wait 45min to download the 220Gb of the game I want to play. Where is the improvement? :rolleyes:

Personally, 1 Gb is all I need; but I doubt that you can run a modern Visual Studio in such an environment
So what's your editor then, Notepad?

HD memory that is. I currently have 223 GB of SSD memory, which is waaaaaaaay to little for multiple Virtual Machines... :sigh: We've got different customers and projects that all require specific versions of tools and different VPN clients. So virtualization seems the key. It also means I currently have three Windows installs, three Visual Studio installs, two SQL Server Management Studio installs, etc. On a 223 GB machine :(

Wow, I have 2x1TB drives in my LAPTOP. Thinking about leveraging the #3 (tiny one) or upgrading the 1TB to 2TB. Honestly, you can buy 1TB SSD for cheap on amazon <$300 I would upgrade your existing by cloning it, and swapping a 1TB in. It cost you more to COMPLAIN about it :-) Now, the 2TB are pricey at near $900.00 so I understand not going there.

I'm not buying anything. This is a WORK laptop. If anyone is buying anything it's my boss! :laugh:

Sander, Lookup the prices on Amazon. Give them to your boss, ask for the upgrade. If you have the skillset to do the upgrade, offer to do the upgrade on your own time, or after hours. I would be surprised if they did not go for it. I remember EONS ago, I brought in my own SECOND monitor to work. My boss sat down with me, and after 15 minutes, he asked how hard it was to do that for others, himself included! Within a week, even the receptionist (who had a softphone, and needed to email/fax from the pc) had dual monitors. Don't be afraid to ask, but include the WHY. I am sure your boss does not want you feeling stressed or wasting your time WAITING for a response. Or shuffling around large files. It's a relatively small price. Now, if you work in a BIG company, you might be hosed. But I would still try. It can't hurt!

Be surprised :D We all swap large files around, even my manager. Ah well, as I understood we're getting new laptops pretty soon anyway.

We have 8TB of SSD's installed and feel a storage crunch every week or so when processing a chunk of 4K video, which does love storage... Whenever a crunch occurs we roll SSD storage to hard drive backup. It is, however, nice 1TB SSD's have finally dropped below $200. I'm waiting for the 16TB SSD to arrive at a realistic price, but we'll probably be processing 8K video by then and still be out of space! :( bwa

8TB SSD in every dev machine? :omg:

We have one desktop set up with 8TB of SSD's to do the initial heavy duty video processing. We've replaced all the hard drives in our laptops and other desktops with 500GB or 1TB SSD's. I can see us upgrading the 500GB SSD's to 1TB SSD's in the not too distant future; probably by upgrading our video processing PC to 2-4TB SSD's and moving the 1TB SSD's to the laptops and other desktops.

Video processing sounds expensive :~
