I have about 3TB of SSD on my workstation. It's about 3/4 full of builds. They're often staging branches of one kind or another, where the features I'm working on can be worked on in isolation.

When I worked at Microsoft, I had several TB of spinning disk. Management was too bloody cheap to buy SSDs ("If we buy you one, we have to buy everyone an SSD..."). I calculated that my lost time was costing enought for Microsoft to buy me a complete new insanely high-end workstation every three or four months, complete with monitors. Insanity.

I wound up buying my own hardware in that group, on several occasions. That was terrible.
