Thanks. Was curious if that was still a factor with newer ones
There's a 500GB Samsung SSD on sale at memory express for $200, thinking of that. Is it still recommended to only ever fill it to 75% capacity to prevent write speeds from slowing? That's why I'm thinking of a 500Gb one, I'd likely never have more than 300GB of stuff on it.
Or maybe I just really need to shake my old school mentality that bigger is better. There's a 250GB Samsung one, same series, 250GB for $120. That's probably sufficient
