It wasn't that long ago that I spent a ton of money building what was going to be my hardcore gaming PC. It had two GTX 780's, 32GB of RAM, a solid gaming CPU, a new gaming monitor (remember EIZO?) and all the bells and whistles that came with that. I knew I'd be doing a lot of recording, so I had to have plenty of storage. But SSDs were expensive as all hell back in 2012, especially beyond the 500GB mark. So I resorted to the next best alternative: a series of fast SATA drives, striped together in RAID 0 to give me the speed and storage I'd need.
But man, how times have changed.
