You get cheap mSATA to SATA adaptors on ebay (that might arrive in your postbox in 3 months), but 64GB is just so small... One had to live with 128GB when 256GB was too expensive, but that excuse does not exist anymore.

As per the spec sheet it is 2 x 9AH. I am unfamiliar with the Yuasa brand. Are they any good?

Yuasa is one of the top Japaneese lead-acid battery manufacturer (usually comes from factory in China).

If you want a hassle free life then get 256gb min, 128gb is easy to full up just with OS and programs, then the pain starts.

If you know how to manage resources well 128GB is okay, obviously not ideal but I'd say it's the absolute minimum. I am of course assuming there is another HDD in the system to install games/large apps.

I've got a 128GB boot drive in a Windows 10 system and I have had no disk space issues yet, any large apps get installed to the 2TB HDD.
 
I'm still running a 60GB OCZ Agility 3 in my PC.

Windows, Office 2010, Chrome, Origin and Steam running off of it with my media on my 1TB drive and my installed games on a 500GB one :)

I still have 19.9GB free of 55.4 in total, however I did disable Hibernation and removed my swap file
 
Those Evo + cards are also the best value for money available and very good speeds where it counts, they match my Lexar Professional 633x SD card.

Impressive.

How you manage to fit games on a 500GB drive though is beyond me, have a PC with 1TB and can hardly fit anything else on there (mostly just games on there).
 
I usually only play one or two games at a time. Currently my vices are the Mass Effect series (currently busy with no. 3) and Subnautica. I install and uninstall as I go along, but I usually have no more than 15 or so installed at once. Lots of them are smaller, older games too such as Age of Empires and Red Alert 2 :)

Should be good, write speed is at 30mb/s which should be plenty for 4k. Just Google the independent tests of the card to confirm its fast enough for your particular camera's 4k bitrate.
 
^Maybe they meant SOHO situations? :crylaugh:

Still not a bad deal IMHO
