What size SSD for Jails?

[Fuganater]

I hear that certain plugins run much faster when on an SSD (mainly Plex). So I am wondering what size SSD I should buy? Would 240GB be enough or should I go for 500GB? I plan on buying 2 of them and set up a mirror.

For Jails I will be running:
Plex for a 5TB library
Sonarr
Sickrage
SABNZBD
Probably a few others in the future.

250GB or higher should be good, since your media will be on your pool. (FYI currently I'm at 90GB for all my jails).

I have a 120 GB Samsung 840 evo with plex on it and sickrage/nzbget/couchpotato/transmission/htpc manager installed. I have about 40 GB free because plex takes up about 30GB+ with its index files (I have about 7200 episodes and 160 movies), all the media is in my main pool, along with all the downloads. So I'd say 120 GB minimum.

Ok thanks guys. I am waiting/hoping for the Samsung 850 500GB to go back to the $99 sale. I have not decided if I will get a standard SSD or a new fancy M.2 SSD and hook it up to my PCI-E slots.
