My personal laptop has a 256GB SSD as OS/apps drive. I treat this as expendable.
I have replaced the DVD drive with a 1TB SSHD. This is my 'storage' drive. There's a directory with stuff I need to keep, which is all on Dropbox and backed up to CrashPlan. The rest is just 'cache' (e.g. music files I can easily replace).
Looking at newer laptops, there's no DVD drive any more, so I'm waiting for 1TB SD cards (at a reasonable price) so I can have my 'storage' drive. This is great news for me, though I may have to wait some time for prices to be reasonable.
