You no longer have to bend over backwards to get more than a terabyte of fast, flash-based storage (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/09/samsung-tlc-v-nand-ssd/) in your home computer. Samsung is shipping 2TB versions (http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/samsung-electronics-leads-consumers-into-the-new-era-of-multi-terabyte-ssds-with-launch-of-2-tb-850-pro-and-850-evo/) of its 850 Evo and 850 Pro (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/09/samsung-tlc-v-nand-ssd/) solid-state drives, giving you as much capacity as a decent-sized spinning hard drive while maintaining that all-important SSD speed. They're only available for desktops at the moment, but Samsung is promising similarly cavernous models for laptops. Just be prepared to pay dearly for these no-compromise drives right now -- the 'standard' 2TB 850 Evo is officially priced at $800, while the slightly faster, longer-lasting 850 Pro could easily break the bank at $1,000.
