SSDs costing $300 for me. For some reason my current drives refuse to partition. I got an old laptop on it, but it barely works regardless of what OS is on it.
Older refurbished Thinkpads are a good and cheap way to go. They save a ton of compatibility headaches which only eat time. Linux is very economical on hardware resources. Or, just use an old pc. I work as a programmer and my main PC is 15 years old now.

$300? I found a bunch on Amazon just now for under $30.
Surely not for 1 TB though. I want to stay on Linux for the most part and save my stuff there.
Why not cheap SSD for OS and then 1-2 TB HDD for storage?
I only have 3 hard drive slots and they are for gaming.
