I ordered a new Mac Pro with 1TB SSD, which has been plenty for all the dev projects I've done, even super large ones. The SSD is blazing fast when it comes to compiling and linking. It's less than half full, even with all the crap I've had around for decades. Music goes on an external 2TB drive, and backups go to an external 4TB (or is it 8?) drive, both FireWire 800. This Mac Pro is a beast.
