    Hi guys:

    I pulled the trigger and bought a 512 gb razer blade pro 2014. it's currently back ordered and not sure when it'll be actually delivered.

    question for current owners- would you think 256 gb be sufficient? there are plenty of places where I can buy the 256 and get it sooner. thanks your help.

    You should be able to answer that on your own. Nobody knows how much storage you need. I was able to squeak by a 64gb crucial m4 ssd in 2011 and then 120gb then now 256gb. I would say the sweet spot is 120-128gb for a lot of software/apps and 256gb is plenty. Use External Portable usb 3.0 drives for your photo, video and for your pr0n collection :thumbsup:

    If you are getting the pro your upgrade options are much easier, so I would be more comfortable getting the smaller drive personally.

    As benchmade has said only you know what kind of a data horder you are, and therefore what capacity you need.

    Games these days are getting up to 20-30GB in size so if it were me, I would go for the largest amount of space that I can afford.

    If you're tech savvy, there's room in the 2014 Blade Pro for a 2.5" drive. As the poster above me suggested, games are starting to get larger in file sizes. . but how many different games are you honestly planning to play in a single week? File storage is easily accommodated by an external drive or even a thumb drive [I picked up a PNY 128 Gb for about $50 not too long ago] Between that and OneDrive/dropbox/Google music, 256Gb is actually quite a bit of storage.

    Ultimately, the choice is yours, and you know your required mandatory installed library better than anyone. Me, personally. . . I haven't even used half the drive yet...
