OK, I only use my system disk for OS related operations, everything else is either internal HDD or external storage, around 24TB total, so maybe my usage is different, but I maxed out a 250GB SSD in around a year. If planning for say five years of use, I would consider the larger capacity.
Excellent idea. We all probably read all this elsewhere, but just in case it's worth hearing. It's good to use the SSD just for the OS and applications and keep the bulk of data on HDD with HDD backup, internal or external. An SSD can get quite slow when nearly full and storing media files away from the system SSD helps keep it from filling up. Turn off any scheduled defragger and never defragment it. The SSD is good for editing and temporary, working storage of media files, just dont store them there and avoid going over 60-70% capacity. Someone may chime in and say this is old advice and is no longer needed, but it was strongly recommended not very long ago, and not by the manufacturers looking to sell larger drives.
