Ive used the 2600MC over the past 3 years and soon to buy a 2600MM , frames are 50MB file size ( huge )
I have 1TB of internal storage on my lappy and 1TB of external storage
I delete my Flats and Bias files every year to clear the decks
As far as processing power with Cmos cameras and large amounts of data , these days you need 16 or 32GB of Ram as a minimum and preferably an i7 multicore processor.
Standard Lappies (eg: i5 and 8GB ram etc… ) from retailers just don’t cut it for Deep Sky or Planetary Astrophotography, from my experiences with the 2600 series cameras
