    10 years ago we would be saying nobody needs this much storage in a PC.
    Now 500GB is the smallest drive you can order on some systems.

    Good for supplemental storage on a PC that is booting the OS from an SSD. Put the big drives in the NAS or fileserver.

    They now have this for $45, but it only has a 30 day warranty:
