Eh, 2TB of flash storage seems like a waste of money unless you need 550 MB/S for media. Professionals maybe. I still think solid state + hard disks is the perfect one two punch.

Are you backed up??? If so, why? Psyllium Fibre is not free but will do wonders!

I agree. SSD for boot drive, HDDs RAID 0 for data... does the trick for me.

I have an SSD for the OS and Apps and a 1TB drive for iTunes in my MacBook and it works great for me. I don't require ultra fast access to movies and songs etc but I could see the need for pro's creating content etc.
