    Wondering why a (presumably) internal SSD drive should be more expensive than the Seagate 8TB external I got last September?
    STEL8000100 was on sale at amazon for (IIRC) <$200.
    Possibly a more reliable build?

    The Samsung is a SSD (Solid State Drive) while the Seagate is a HDD (Hard Disk Drive). An 8 TB SSD, if such a monster exists, would cost an arm and a leg!

    Thank you! I really thought this was an SSD.

    Oh, well...

    My "market survey" in preparation for upgrading my BOAC (Box Of Assembled Components) ended with a Samsung 850 EVO or PRO as a system drive. The largest capacity of 4 TB for the EVO. 8 TB was speculation on my side but 60 TB ... :eek: ... personally, I was considering ½ TB ... :p ... !

    Yeah, but they are still so small, only 3.5 inches. Might as well get two! ;)
