A 16TB hard disk drive is on sale for far less than you'd think 16TB HDD for just over $400
Interesting, if it means 8T will drop in price ;-) ...
I see mention that the gap between HDD and SSD prices has "all but disappered for sub-1TB capacities" which is interesting.
The basic Linux OS as a healthy instlation can fit on under 500MB never mind 500GB, probably less. Let's not forget that memory is cheap and you probably can manage without swap unless you are doing something intense like photediting.
Depends what you call cheap. My current motherboard only admits 8 GiB, and I end using 6 GiB of swap after a few days easily. I have a new motherboard waiting for memory purchase: 64GiB is 359€ to 919€. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
