Hi,

 $6000 USD  seems a very high price for 2 more TB.

Just a few months ago, Samsung had 2 TB SSDs that were priced around $600 USD.
1TB SSD is priced at $300 USD.

My company offers computers as well for our COAX high speed cameras, and it should not be very expensive to add 2TB.

There is an option to increase the SSD-RAID to 4TB for  about 6000$ extra. The system will be use for both fixed materiel imaging and for live-imaging with time-laps, z-stack, tiling and multi-fluorophores experiments. I was wondering if it is worth to invest those extra money for this option or not. This will be the first time we will have time-laps experiments, so I don't know what to expect as pictures size.
