Hello,
I am planning to buy a Octane III laptop with the following configuration. I am planning to take 1TB SSD, 32 GB RAM, would like to use this laptop to build multiple virtual machines inside this laptop to learn new technologies in IT, also want to install some resource hungry applications.
I got following questions, Could you please clarify ?
1. Is it good to have 1 TB SSD in one disc instead of two 500GB Discs ? or any other configurations are good with minor changes. for ex: 1TB SSD on one Disc and 120 SSD on another disc ?
2. I am planning to add 32GB RAM for now, but can i add some more RAM in future if i want ? As per Octane III spec, it can take upto 64GB RAM.
3. Any other suggestions on my spec ?
