    31-40k Major component upgrades

    I did get a 2TB HDD.. but it conked off within the warranty period. Unfortunately I could not get a replacement as there were files in it that I had to retrieve.. BTW, I have bought a 6TG external HDD last year. I can use that for now, without investing in another SSD.
