        1. 512gb + 512gb is 1Tb of storage (the exact storage amount one needs is always personal and has different costs and capabilities)

        2. why? Storage costs have been dragging since 2008 when 320GB of storage was available for $79.99. Due to governments buying up most of the stock for surveillance purposes.

          Shortly before prices spiked, I saw a 1TB one that had dropped to somewhere in the mid-40s, so I’d expect a noticable drop as well for half that capacity.
