I think it comes down to what you want to do with the system.. I just stuck with a classic wb install cause basically all I do is fool around and classic game with the system.. so splitting up a 16 gig card into 4 equal partitions is all I really need with ffs. Whdload, demos.. paint, mods..etc is all really.. not to mention networked does help alot to gettin what ever needed online and on the NAS does help too. Guess it would be different it if was a toaster system or what ever of some sort where speed and space was a value. .. What is the intent of the system everyone has today?
