Could someone help me to understand why it makes sense to spend this kind of money (even at sale prices) on such a high-capacity SSD, versus using a moderately priced (and sized) SSD instead - to house your OS and other key apps - along with a 4TB platter drive at a fraction of the price? Who really needs a SSD with this kind of capacity? Convince me. : )

Completely agree with day2z. Use a good quality super fast ssd for your OS and a traditional magnetic platter hdd for typical storage needs. I have 15 yr old hard drives still going strong.

Meant to also say that there are limited use cases for a high capacity SSD, but the typical, mass consumer population has no need for this. Tho many will buy it just because of the coolness factor.

I should have edited the first post and just added more on to it, but 10 yrs later, Ben still hasn't figured out how to add an edit button to the mobile app... It's alchemy

Only way you would benefit from this is if you have a new motherboard with m.2 slots that are NVME and can use that bandwith of "Max Sequential Read Up to 3500 MBps" and "Max Sequential Write Up to 3000 MBps". Otherwise there might be a bottleneck in transfer speeds. Among other factors.
