Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.

Are cheap

Yeah, right. I know they're cheaper than they were but they can't be that cheap.

finds a high-speed 2tb m.2 from Kingston (a brand I trust) for £120

I stand corrected.

    Do you have desktop or laptop?
    For desktop, I recommend getting an HDD for storage. They're cheaper, I bought a 4tb Seagate Ironwolf for less than 100€.
    I also have a 1tb nvme, where I store things that require fast reads like my gaming collection while the system is installed in an SSD. (The parts were not bought at the same time). For laptop, you might want to stick to what you have inside and just get a good external USB. The usual brands are still good and I think prices have flatten across the industry.

    Laptops though, for real...

    I got an old gaming laptop with an Nvidia 960M in it, and it happened to have an M.2 slot.

    I stuck a 1TB from Western Digital in there, AND it had a 1TB HDD already...man, I dunno what to do with this much space on a laptop 😂.

    Made an old machine feel like brand new, seriously.

    (Especially since I wiped Windows and it's only running EndeavourOS now.)
