minus-squareGeekySalsa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·13 days agoSSDs have gotten much cheaper. 10 years ago, they were over $0.50/GB, now they’re just over $0.04/GB That’s over 12 times cheaper. You can get a 2tb ssd for $85. 10 years ago a 2tb ssd would’ve been super expensive and very boogie.
