Yeah, and with multiple TB drives as cheap as they are ... it's just crazy.
You'd still want a mass storage hard-drive, but dropping the operating system and a few big programs that would benefit from the load time on the SSD.
Most times, when you buy a new SSD they will give you drive migration software.

Do people still mass torrent all the things and horde them on HDDs for probably-never-watching-again?
I used to have a Tb or so that I filled, but since netflix etc. I've deleted it all... I barely fill 500gb of my 1tb lappy these days and that includes my 3D and HD video work. It could probably stand a spring clean too.
That said I don't game any more - some games are pushing 50Gb for an install these days. Maybe that's where most of my space has been freed up.

I draw guns and spaceships and bunnies
I have a 3 TB RAID1 NAS that has... ~1.8TB of media. Almost every day I'm watching something. Usually Top Gear reruns, but still. I'm hording everything I can
There's enough that Netflix et al still don't have, but if something sits for a month and never gets watched I'll delete it. I figure if later on I decide I want to watch it it's still out there.
I don't know, fly casual
i store almost nothing locally. whats the point?
social conservatism: the mortal fear that someone, somewhere, might be having fun.
I started storing everything locally when I was (well, I'm back here, but that's not the point) living at my Mom's. She's living in a rural part of BC, and the fastest internet I get now is 3Mbps. While at university, I got 25 minimum. While in highschool here at my mom's, I'm 100% certain the internet was MUCH slower - if I wanted to stream a movie, I'd have to start it hours beforehand. So I figured that if I have to wait this long for a movie, I might as well keep it. Plus this way I can watch all the media I want, and not have it count against my internet cap.
I hate most ISPs.
