lenovo P5
I7 gen 6
windows 7 pro
256 gig PCIe-NVMe SSD (can just keep adding these)
16 gigs ram upgradable to 64gigs
4 external monitors at the same time
OMG, latest hardware on windows 7 for only $1250

Nice !
Even a 256 GB hard drive gets full fast.
How do you add SSDs to that model ?
I had a Dell Latitude that would let you put a cradle into the optical bay for a hard drive, and I put a 512 GB SSD in there. Blazing fast way to run virtual machines.

What's the lifetime on these SSD drives ?
I always understood flash memory had a limited read/write lifetime, if I remember correctly it was something like 10,000 writes.
Perhaps technology has overtaken my knowledge........

apparently, you just take the back off and clip up to 3 more in.
Life?
Pretty sure this one will outlast me drinking.

The quality of the NAND Flash memory devices in an SSD is typically a lot higher than that used in a USB drive or CompactFlash card, and modern operating systems have gotten a lot better about leveling out and reducing the write operations to SSDs.
Some estimates figure you can get 8 to 12 years out of a modern SSD.
I've never had an SSD fail, but I've had a handful of older CompactFlash systems fail. In fact, one of my 5 year old PV+ that does intensive logging just went toes-up.
And of course I've been in places where failed rotating hard drives pile up like cordwood. Give me a limited-life SSD over a fragile HDD any day.

ok, maybe I did a little bit of but licking, but at least I was picky.
Some disconcerting phrases used there....
"typically" "have gotten a lot better" - to be honest not high recommendations....
"Some estimates" "figure" "can get" - I'd like to see hard facts and figures....
"failed rotating hard drives" - I've never had a failure yet, I've bought a couple of dud ones, but not had a working one fail on me... I'll probably choke on those words, it's called "Murphy's Law". The law is invoked as soon as you say anything to disprove it....
+1 to this, plus SSDs are getting cheaper and cheaper nowadays. Worth any extra money for the extra speed/responsiveness.

Difficult to prove a positive, but I lost all of me music from an external Seagate hard drive.
Probably serves me right. Anyone else remember the russian web site all of mp3.com?
