If you think you can fit all your VMs onto a 256GB drive, then getting a 512GB
would be a waste of money. In another year or two they'll be cheaper again and
you can re-buy if you need more space down the track. However, if you need
256GB now, then I think $350 is a bargain for the space
Yeah, I think some heavy sarcasm was implied in the post.
