Actual usage is dominated by small read/writes. That performance may vary greatly what most benchmarks measure.

Effectively: 256 gb becomes 192 gb - OS (~ 20 gb) = 172 gb free 512 gb becomes 384 gb - OS = 364 gb Consider if this actual storage space is enough for you. In Canada the upgrade is an extra $250. So, $250 for an extra 192 gb amounts to: $1.30/gb Worth? Reactions: csicilia
