I was thinking about getting a 2TB SSD for the X but I may go for a 1TB instead if I can trim down the size of my MPC drum kit programs and multi sampled instruments library.
Over the next few weeks while I wait for the X to get here, I plan on going through my library and purge out redundant samples which sounds similar. Also I will only keep the instruments which I consider to be my favorites and know for sure may get used in my productions.

Same here bro. 1TB should last a very long time.

When it comes to sounds, its never over kill, when it comes to storage its never over kill. If you can get HHD or SSD and you got the dough get it. I got storage up the wazoo, I make a back of the backup of another back up. Your tracks are important. I have lost at least 30 tracks over the period of from 94 to about this time. That's not cool, some I did over and some I said forget it. I just did over a track that my female singer/songwriter just did and it came out dope. So I don't want to go through that again.

I agree. Can't have too much. The more the better! Ha.
My style of making music has always been sort of mindlessly browsing thru sounds that fit the main idea/sound I've laid down, and that's where having tons of sounds comes in handy.

If I could work at 96khz in standalone I'd definitely consider a 1TB drive, but it'll take years for me to max out 500GB, especially if I export all my stems to an SD card and keep them off the main drive.
I'm getting impatient now and it's still probably 3 months from release.

How won't 1TB not do any good? We are talking about internal storage for the X or the Live here. It's not possible to run VSTs in standalone mode. Did I miss something?
Besides that I could care less for VSTi's which is one of the main reasons I'm getting the X. I will of course keep some choice VST effects and instruments to spruce up my tracks here and there when using the X in controller mode with the 2.0 software. But most of the time I will produce my tracks in standalone mode.
In the end I may just get a 2TB SSD if the price is right. Then I should be all set with internal storage.

Whatttt?
My iMac has around 500 GB SSD, lots of VSTs and samples to last me a lifetime, and I still have around half of it left!

everyone will asses 2.0 based upon their own requirements its all relative.
This is MPC Forums not jpeg's blog. People on here couldn't give a single **** about the features you're disinterested in or don't need. Next time you have a brain fart, PM Jah and talk it through with him instead.
well **** u too; I assume could a **** less bout ur import requirement for older mpc hardware, unless they themselves need that feature.
but this live is very much aimed at new mpc users; u may wanna stick with ur 2xl or whatever u have
far as i know jah is actually beta testing so hence the convo, but dont try and minimize opposing viewpoints, thats weak.

I think it was Danoc (or someone with a similar nickname…ThaKnock or something if it wasnt him) that was foreseeing Roland putting out a ACB sampler around NAMM 15 or so.
Never happened. The rumour appeared strong back then; said it'd have lots of old sampler modelling.
Would've loved that.
