I'm not a hardware geek either, but your editorial resonated with me. This weekend I found myself buying a new SSD for my home desktop to replace one I already have. I only use it for my OS, and the 120GB I have has been fine for 5 years now. I literally just needed to replace what I have.

But something about buying something new makes me want to buy the most and the best. For a few dangerous minutes, I found myself browsing & comparing the 1TB+ drives. In the end, I got a 250GB SSD (restrained, but still more than I needed).
