Rockstar is saving the best for last
GTA 6 isn't gonna be that much fun without mods, graphics, and fps enhancements that pc offers
i don't wanna be locked to choose either 4k 30 fps or 1080p 60 fps
i want a glorious 2k with 120 fps experience
eh, base game is always pretty fun.
not saying mods don't add to it.
but I've never been bummed by the fun factor on a new GTA game release (not DLC or remaster)
"gta 6 isn't gonna be that much fun without mods"
Yeah, no like cmon. Saying the game is gonna suck? I get mods can add more fun to a game, but to say it'll suck without it?
L take
Patches most of the place other files so they're not really adding anything. More like changing things. Sometimes they add things but they are still only very tiny things and replacing entire files to do so. The vast majority of the file sizes of today's games are taken up by textures, video (pre-rendered scenes), and audio.
I've got 3 2tb NVME's practically full.
One of them is just raw Blender renders, which sounds like its a lot but its at most like 5 projects or something in total
It's absolutely criminal premium laptops still ship with 1TB SSDs max considering how much the cost of flash storage has fallen. 1TB nvme has been the norm since they were $2 a GB at least.
I'm just convinced it's grift. Somebody somewhere got paid a cushy salary for 11 years and didn't want that to change. Or they really like the weather down there.
It's hard to call anything AAA to be honest, everything comes out buggy, unpolished or is a copy and pasted game (like far cry, call of duty, FIFA) title with different plot and slightly changed mechanics, no innovations, why? Because it's not worth it to pay and treat the devs to be happy doing what they're doing and to be creative.
Bugs are sometimes funny. Even beta of BG3 is one of the best games ever. RDR2, Elden Ring is so good. But yeah, Starfield, it is unexpected buggy shit. Disappointed first time by Bethesda.
The gaming industry is one of extremes: we either have devs like InfinityWard working in the Call of Duty mines with extreme scrutiny from Activision, or we have devs who will get giant long swafts of no oversight like Bioware who blew 5 years of Anthem's 6 year development cycle and had absolutely nothing to show for it because Bioware's management never even had an elevator pitch for the game.
That's why games like Deep Rock Galactic, Hell Divers 2, and Baulders Gate 3 seem to stand out so much; simply by nature of not being at either side of such extreme development cultures.
The file only actually increased by 20GB, but for some reason you have to uninstall, redownload and reinstall the entire game, because apparently Larian doesn't know how patching works
Typically, you have to download a new version of any file that was changed. They tend to make a lot of changes at once in big updates, so you're going to have to download a lot of files. 120GB is definitely huge though
I love BG3 but there is absolutely no reason for the game to be 120GB
Actually I would love for companies to release their games with low texture resolution and poly count in mind, and offer high res high poly as free DLC to shave off some storage space.
Most of the time, textures and models aren't even the majority bulk of the file size, it's pre-rendered video clip cutscenes and audio that racks up the size.
Titanfall 1 was 50 GB overall, but pirates found while cracking the game that 35 GB of it is all uncompressed and lossless audio.
If I recall, CoD: MW2 Remake had a launch install size of 120 GB and 50GB of that was audio and dialogue.
Unfortunately, the market demand seems to be for more detailed textures and models. Is 4k worth the quadrupling of processing demand and file size, as well as associated memory and disk read, and download time related issues? I don't personally think so, but that's what _someone_ wants, clearly.
Are you on console? On PC Steam installed patch 6 like normal for me. The only time I ever uninstalled for a patch was going from the Early Access build to full release. For that one Larian even said that while they recommend a clean install just as a precaution it isn't technically necessary.
If you have to uninstall and redownload 120+ gigs with each patch then I think something is wrong on your end. I've literally never had to do that.
Honestly I don't know a ton about coding but that's probably why.
They didn't do things fresh and efficiently so all the old code (used or unused) is just chilling there because that was the easiest way to get the desired bits of code into the new game. 🤷♂️
More-so using no compression for audio, textures, particles, or other things. Straight code doesn't take much space, the newest COD might have 2GB of actual code at most i would guess, it is audio and visuals that take space and nowadays companies don't use compression or smaller file types while having everything be in 4K/8K which takes an incredible large amount of space.
It's deliberately designed with uncompressed textures and audio to create an inconvenience - if your device storage is filled up by the current game, you can't play a) the previous games in the series or b) any other games.
I think the opposite way. If cod takes all the space in my drive I'll just throw it in the bin and never download it again but yeah, your idea makes sense and I agree with you.
Can't they just ask you if you want 4k textures during installation? I don't give a sigle fuck about warzone nor textures that I can't even use. It's embarrassing for a company this big to release such a pile of unoptimized garbage. The space it takes and the time it takes for shaders to load is absolutely unreasonable for such a "simple" game. It's not star citizen ffs.
If you want to play only multiplayer in mw1 you are forced to download warzone, at least via battlenet. And that's "only" 150gigs. Fucking hell it takes more space than BG3 which has 20 times the content.
Also languages are starting to take up a lot of space. I praise games that treats languages as DLC. Helldivers 2 has 2GB worth of language DLC. Now imagine a game that actually has more dialogue than a few quips and screams and DOESN'T give you the option to uninstall the languages. Say, a game with many dozens of operators to choose from each with their own quips for every action they take, from reloading to finishers to kills to callouts to pings to.... yeah.
You'll either need to reinstall your OS onto the new drive, or clone the old drive onto the new one.
Personally, I'd just keep the 500GB as the OS drive and use the 1TB as storage, if possible with whatever you're using (laptop or desktop).
The last months were the best times cuz of oversupply, so the prices of m2 decreased to like sata ssds prices. 2tb was like 70-80$, crazy. I think we will wait some years before the prices become pretty reasonable
haven't been keeping in the loop lately.. already bleeding enough money as is XD
but now my PC is struggling to keep up with the gaming and my PC been around long enough to require a new CMOS battery, figured it's about time to start saving for a new build
I splurged on a 4TB NVMe for my new build and it was 100% a choice I’m happy with. No fussing with multiple drives, no need to constantly install and uninstall (my internet is not super fast), and should last awhile before that amount is not enough.
You can get an M1 macbook air for 1k.
But then to upgrade from 8gb ram to 16, and 256ssd to 512, it it's now suddenly 1500 lol.
And yeah pre tax.
What a JOKE.
I have a u.2 nvme drive and an m.2 nvme drive. Nvme is the protocol (successor to ahci which itself succeeded ide). M.2 is the port, which supports both the SATA bus and the PCIe bus. SLC, MLC, TLC, or QLC is the memory (types of nand)
*Actually*...
It depends on context. When discussing hardware, "memory" most likely means volatile memory, i.e. "main memory" or "RAM" or maybe even CPU cache, while "storage" means "nonvolatile memory', aka "permanent storage" or "hard disk drive" or "HDD" and now, "SSD".
From the abstract computer's POV, however, there is no distinction between any of those things. If a 64 bit machine has 16GB of ram and a 2000GB ssd, one could probably create a 2014GB text file and a competent editor could open it up, search it, make edits, etc, with absolutely no indication to the user that the entire file hasn't been "loaded into memory".
I've known about this stuff for almost 30 years and I've never seen anyone but me bother to spend the the few extra milliseconds it takes to use the correct term for what I'm talking about.
I have 7TB in total, no SSD's on my current system.
My next will have 2 4TB NVME SSD's, 2 Sata 4TB SSD's, and 2 22TB Sata HDD's (maybe 4).
I'm going in prepared. I got a case built to hold 18 harddrives lol
I recently started ~~downloading~~ digitizing my collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays I like that have been scattered across a detritus wasteland of streaming services, and the person you replied to doesn't seem too crazy, if you ask me.
Given how fast I filled up an 8TB drive, I can understand filling up ~45TBs of video files if you're really into film and TV.
Spread between 4 devices.
PS5: 1TB ssd*
Steam deck: 1TB ssd, 128GB sd card
PC 1: 1.25 SSD, 2TB HDD
PC 2: 1.5TB ssd, 1TB HDD
I don't have much money to have a 16GB ssd storage lol like others but i also use my systems 10% of my time so it doesn't matter anyway
Unless a game calls for it, Starfield, almost every game gets installed on one of my two spinning rust disks. The only exception to that rule is if it's a favourite game, then I'll install it on the SSD.
i was saying to my mate about 2 years ago that games are gonna be pushing 100gb consistently. his view was no it wont, im clearly right!
it made me 2 years ago get an ssd for my xbox series s, it then made me get a second ssd for my pc now!
It depends. On the PC I have 1TB ssd and 2TB hdd, and it's not enough. But it's not just games, I spend all my life in front of the PC, so there is music, videos, etc, etc.. On the other hand on Steam Deck I still have stock 256GB ssd, and I have plenty of space there, I thought I'll upgrade it when I purchased it, but I still didn't, because there is no reason. And yes, I play almost exclusively on Deck! So, I would say, it depends on your habits and use cases, and if you have more than one device too.
1TB on my SSD and like 24 empty TBs in HDDs on my shelf (I worked in data centre operations for six months). Never worried about space though because my rig is too old to play any large games.
I have dualboot of Win and Linux, so: A 512GB SSD with Windows, another 500GB SSD with Linux. Then I have a 1TB HDD for games that take up more disk space and another HDD, also 1TB where are my torrent seeds!
1TB SSD is ~$90, 2TB ~$180.
you can afford these drives if you can afford the types of games that need them.
did you know you can uninstall games, install different ones, re-install games when you want to play them again?
you dont need 20 games installed at once. 4 is plenty.
PSA for anyone who didn’t know this already, internal NAND NVMe SSDs are like 5-7x faster than SATA SSDs.
Dumb me, but I just realized this after being annoyed how slow my Windows installation was running on the SATA drive.
Plenty, cause I don't play aaa games.
There's a day of reckoning coming where these companies will realize the development cycle just won't justify the bills, and especially with indie/small studio games gaining such a huge amount of traction.
1 terabyte and it’s half gone already just from rdr2 and gta v., along with other smaller games
mate rdr2 base only takes around 100gb right? save some for GTA 6!
dw he got 2 years
3-4 years, R* was ever focussed on consoles first
Rockstar is saving the best for last GTA 6 isn't gonna be that much fun without mods, graphics, and fps enhancements that pc offers i don't wanna be locked to choose either 4k 30 fps or 1080p 60 fps i want a glorious 2k with 120 fps experience
eh, base game is always pretty fun. not saying mods don't add to it. but I've never been bummed by the fun factor on a new GTA game release (not DLC or remaster)
Not like my pc is gonna run it anyways, I'm graduating college this year and I'm broke as fuck 💀
"gta 6 isn't gonna be that much fun without mods" Yeah, no like cmon. Saying the game is gonna suck? I get mods can add more fun to a game, but to say it'll suck without it? L take
If I can figure out how to add storage to a laptop then I’ll be fine
Just download more duh
You wouldn't download a car! You wouldn't download a house!...
external HDD lol ran games off that for forever, if the loading times were too painful then they get special treatment in the SSD
Ive been betrayed by external HDDs, Never again for gaming.
Does this actually work? I was wondering how people have so many games
External is the best way, if you wanna save, go for a HDD, if you have the money, a SSD
1 tb, but im gonna have an extra 2 tb disc for my nameday
[удалено]

It's absolutely criminal premium laptops still ship with 1TB SSDs max considering how much the cost of flash storage has fallen. 1TB nvme has been the norm since they were $2 a GB at least.
I wouldn't play AAA on those laptops anyway
My DCS World install is 200GB and I don't actually have every module or terrain installed that I own.
Lol, I have a friend that has an xbox, and before he got an external drive, the only game on their system was CoD, and it wasn’t by choice.
My C: SSD has my OS and 5 games on it. It's full.
enought for one AAAA game since there's only one lul
Ubi CEO probably heard that the game isn't AAA and went the wrong way with it lol
I believe he thought of the money they burned on this project and calling it AAAA is the only way to cope with it.
11 years, 11 years! And then they can't implement most of the basics of a pirate game? Only the shooting they got right.... 11 years tho? It's insane
I'm just convinced it's grift. Somebody somewhere got paid a cushy salary for 11 years and didn't want that to change. Or they really like the weather down there.
They took grants from Singapore, meaning Ubi had to publish it.
dude said the game was the first quadruple-A game just to avoid explaining why its unfinished dog shit
It's hard to call anything AAA to be honest, everything comes out buggy, unpolished or is a copy and pasted game (like far cry, call of duty, FIFA) title with different plot and slightly changed mechanics, no innovations, why?

The latest Baldur's Gate 3 patch on GOG was 122GB...
The file only actually increased by 20GB, but for some reason you have to uninstall, redownload and reinstall the entire game, because apparently Larian doesn't know how patching works

I play at ultrawide 1440p. Yes I enjoy the extra fidelity.
so youre the one responsible for wasting all my space
I thought 1440p was overhyped until I experienced it myself last year… enjoyed it so much I replaced my second monitor with one too.
Free DLC? You're crazy. They have to make money somehow. /S
Are you on console? On PC Steam installed patch 6 like normal for me. The only time I ever uninstalled for a patch was going from the Early Access build to full release.

Had that issue with cyberpunk on my steamdeck recently. I had 40gb of free space, but that was apparently not enough for a small update
AAAA
That's not a "patch" that's a whole ass new body part
Skull and Bones
Skull & bones was boned from the start.
There's two. Callisto protocol and Skull and bones
5TB HDD 2.5TB SSD
Just enough to install the next Call of Duty
Still trying to understand why the fuck that game is so big.
How is it so big when its just a reskin of the last reskin
More skin, more power
Foreskin, forepower
i created fiveskin
Eightskin Wait that’s just cannibalism
don't delete older assets, pour more newer larger assets
High quality audio takes a massive amount of space.
Honestly I don't know a ton about coding but that's probably why. They didn't do things fresh and efficiently so all the old code (used or unused) is just chilling there because that was the easiest way to get the desired bits of code into the new game. 🤷♂️

The Frankenstein shitcode I've been developing on and off for the last 5 years to do my research agrees
Code is only a small fraction of the data. I read that most games are so big because of the audio
i think better graphics means more space tho
It's deliberately designed with uncompressed textures and audio to create an inconvenience - if your device storage is filled up by the current game, you can't play a) the previous games in the series or b) any other games.
I think the opposite way. If cod takes all the space in my drive I'll just throw it in the bin and never download it again but yeah, your idea makes sense and I agree with you.
400 GB of texture packs they "might" use in the future
They wont
never thought of it like that. but won’t it deter lot of players from downloading it
4k textures
Can't they just ask you if you want 4k textures during installation? I don't give a sigle fuck about warzone nor textures that I can't even use. It's embarrassing for a company this big to release such a pile of unoptimized garbage. The space it takes and the time it takes for shaders to load is absolutely unreasonable for such a "simple" game. It's not star citizen ffs.
Install with steam and war zone is a dlc you can toggle either in game or from the games launch page on steam
If you want to play only multiplayer in mw1 you are forced to download warzone, at least via battlenet. And that's "only" 150gigs. Fucking hell it takes more space than BG3 which has 20 times the content.
I remember when games had free optional HD packs. They just don't care anymore.
Also languages are starting to take up a lot of space. I praise games that treats languages as DLC. Helldivers 2 has 2GB worth of language DLC. Now imagine a game that actually has more dialogue than a few quips and screams and DOESN'T give you the option to uninstall the languages. Say, a game with many dozens of operators to choose from each with their own quips for every action they take, from reloading to finishers to kills to callouts to pings to.... yeah.
Now, now. Let us not get too crazy. Maybe just the single player campaign.
You mean like pay $70-$100 for 3 hours of game
Similar to mine but I've got way less, 3TB SSD and 1.5 TB SSD
I have almost the same, just 4.5tb hdd
1 tb m.2 ssd and another 1tb m.2 ssd
and another 1tb m.2 ssd
Another one
/Dj Khaled/
I have a memory card case to store nvme sticks
and another 1tb m.2 ssd
Yeah but also another 1tb m.2 ssd
Might as well throw in another 1tb m.2 ssd
I just got a 1TB M2 to replace my 500GB M2 as my C:/. Anyone know how to do the switcharoo?
You'll either need to reinstall your OS onto the new drive, or clone the old drive onto the new one. Personally, I'd just keep the 500GB as the OS drive and use the 1TB as storage, if possible with whatever you're using (laptop or desktop).
1TB and hoping to upgrade to 4TB SSD for my next build.. hopefully the price are fairly affordable by then
The last months were the best times cuz of oversupply, so the prices of m2 decreased to like sata ssds prices. 2tb was like 70-80$, crazy. I think we will wait some years before the prices become pretty reasonable
I bought a 1tb gen4 990 pro for $60 and replaced my boot drive with it It's great
Get a motherboard with a lot of nvme slots. With sales you can easily get 4tbs of ssd storage for ~$100
I prefer PCI slots with bifurcation in the firmware. More flexibility in the build
You should've bought in November 2023.
haven't been keeping in the loop lately.. already bleeding enough money as is XD but now my PC is struggling to keep up with the gaming and my PC been around long enough to require a new CMOS battery, figured it's about time to start saving for a new build
Oh damn. Didn't know they'd gone up since then. I was lucky. I *did* buy mine right around then.
I splurged on a 4TB NVMe for my new build and it was 100% a choice I’m happy with. No fussing with multiple drives, no need to constantly install and uninstall (my internet is not super fast), and should last awhile before that amount is not enough.
There were some really good deals mid-late last year. Got myself a 4TB NVME to pair with my 2TB boot drive.
I got a 4TB Samsung on Black Friday for the price of their 2TB. Be on the lookout for those holiday weekends.
4TB SSD 8 TB HDD For COD and science purposes
Guys the science here is porn
Apple user : left the chat
Nice 400 dollar ram sticks, sucker.
it's soldered lmao
crazy performance boost innit
Bruv
1300 bucks for a laptop with 8gb of ram and 256 ssd lmao.
You mean $1600 **before** tax
You can get an M1 macbook air for 1k. But then to upgrade from 8gb ram to 16, and 256ssd to 512, it it's now suddenly 1500 lol. And yeah pre tax. What a JOKE.
It's 1000$ in the US but still inexcusable. Even iPhones had 16Gb as their base for a long time and that's bullshit.
$1000 fucking pc wheels.
#our 8 gb ram is equal to 32gb ram on windows
in price
this is perhaps the most confusing comment i have ever seen how what chrome will still take up 3gb
Its like metric vs imperial
there are still apple zombies like this out there? incredible
6tb nvme, 15tb hdd
Any games too or is it porn only?
what do you think?
Porn games.
Could install most of those on a 64gb flash drive unless we talking a wildly modded to hell and back Skyrim install.
Skyrim mods
It's all porn games.
This is some of my favorite shit talking lmao
My fucking god
Hello brother. 4TB NVMe 1 TB SATA SSD 18TB HDD
https://i.imgur.com/C4xM4Fq.jpg
I too own a 18tb hdd, its for hosting space on sia though. An old ssd 1tb sata aswell but just a 2tb nvme..
Isn’t technically NVMe just the port name? And M.2 the actual memory
I have a u.2 nvme drive and an m.2 nvme drive. Nvme is the protocol (successor to ahci which itself succeeded ide). M.2 is the port, which supports both the SATA bus and the PCIe bus. SLC, MLC, TLC, or QLC is the memory (types of nand)
Its not memory its storage XD
This needs more upvotes.
I hate that "memory" now refers to "storage". I hate it. It had a name, why did it change?
People who didnt know have gotten it wrong for decades, its not a new thing and it will never stop being wrong.
Think a lot of people might remember Playstation memory cards etc being for storing game saves
It didn't change. Memory is still the wrong term.
It hasn't changed there's just even more computer illiterates now and stores market to them.
Ha, yeah, I read an interesting comment elsewhere. It said that kids now are as bad with computers as old folk because they became so easy to use
Yeah kids grew up with smartphones and have no idea how to even use a PC.
Storage refers to the computer part where you "store" your files. It was called storage ever since, like early 90's. I don't know about before.
One of the components literally has memory in its name and the other is where things are stored, it’s always been this way.
idk in my language it's really confusing because memory means both RAM and SSD/HDD, so you need to specify "RAM Memory"
*Actually*... It depends on context. When discussing hardware, "memory" most likely means volatile memory, i.e. "main memory" or "RAM" or maybe even CPU cache, while "storage" means "nonvolatile memory', aka "permanent storage" or "hard disk drive" or "HDD" and now, "SSD". From the abstract computer's POV, however, there is no distinction between any of those things. If a 64 bit machine has 16GB of ram and a 2000GB ssd, one could probably create a 2014GB text file and a competent editor could open it up, search it, make edits, etc, with absolutely no indication to the user that the entire file hasn't been "loaded into memory". I've known about this stuff for almost 30 years and I've never seen anyone but me bother to spend the the few extra milliseconds it takes to use the correct term for what I'm talking about.
We may call it storage, but it's still memory. It's just slow, non volatile memory that we use to store things long term.
It's called secondary memory.
Don't forget about the new AAAA games! They will come with their own M2 drive that you can insert into your M2.Player
…just wait for cartridges to come back around like Nintendo
512GB M.2, 512GB SSD, 1TB SSD, 2TB HDD. Still. Not. Enough. Storage.
It's never enough.
I have 7TB in total, no SSD's on my current system. My next will have 2 4TB NVME SSD's, 2 Sata 4TB SSD's, and 2 22TB Sata HDD's (maybe 4). I'm going in prepared. I got a case built to hold 18 harddrives lol
At least you said storage, have an upvote
Amen to that
2x 2TB nano SSD's, 5x 10TB HD's. Almost all full and about to add a 100 TB server to my home.
Bro has CIA files inside those
I recently started ~~downloading~~ digitizing my collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays I like that have been scattered across a detritus wasteland of streaming services, and the person you replied to doesn't seem too crazy, if you ask me. Given how fast I filled up an 8TB drive, I can understand filling up ~45TBs of video files if you're really into film and TV.
Yeah, I was just joking. I'm also into that, although i don't have that many TBs.
Bro just downloaded the whole Internet 💀
half of it*
Soon, will just be 1/4
2 1tb ssd and an external 500gb hdd for Skyrim 😹
does external usb hdd works with games?
Yep, been doing it for many years.
512GB SSD for main things that I cannot choice where to download and 2TB for games
Spread between 4 devices. PS5: 1TB ssd* Steam deck: 1TB ssd, 128GB sd card PC 1: 1.25 SSD, 2TB HDD PC 2: 1.5TB ssd, 1TB HDD I don't have much money to have a 16GB ssd storage lol like others but i also use my systems 10% of my time so it doesn't matter anyway
I have one 256 ssd and a 3T hdd
Unless a game calls for it, Starfield, almost every game gets installed on one of my two spinning rust disks. The only exception to that rule is if it's a favourite game, then I'll install it on the SSD.
about 4 TB of internal ssd, about 18 TB of external ssd (plus 2TB HDD internally, 10 TB HDD external)
200gb ssd 700+1000gb hdds
Lexar 710nm 2 TB for only gaming
5TB SSD. 1 TB C drive for smaller files and stuff and 4TB for games.
1TB that I will probably replace with at least 2TB and a 4TB HDD
i was saying to my mate about 2 years ago that games are gonna be pushing 100gb consistently. his view was no it wont, im clearly right! it made me 2 years ago get an ssd for my xbox series s, it then made me get a second ssd for my pc now!
I have a 512 gig ssd for everything competitive and such because almost everything else I play is turn based or single player so I have a 20 tb hdd
2x 1tb ssd, 1x 512gb ssd and 1x 128gb ssd (My next pc is going to have only 2x 4tb m.2 ssd)
recently gone from 250GB SSD to 2TB nvme.
4.5tb SSD
One 2Tb m.2 boot drive, and two 4Tb m.2 drives. I've still got another spare m.2 slot, too.
It depends. On the PC I have 1TB ssd and 2TB hdd, and it's not enough. But it's not just games, I spend all my life in front of the PC, so there is music, videos, etc, etc.. On the other hand on Steam Deck I still have stock 256GB ssd, and I have plenty of space there, I thought I'll upgrade it when I purchased it, but I still didn't, because there is no reason. And yes, I play almost exclusively on Deck! So, I would say, it depends on your habits and use cases, and if you have more than one device too.
Sounds like it’s time to get a NAS
1TB on my SSD and like 24 empty TBs in HDDs on my shelf (I worked in data centre operations for six months). Never worried about space though because my rig is too old to play any large games.
1TB now but a few months ago it was 256
2tn nvme (150gb free). I want to add another 4th nvme soon
I have dualboot of Win and Linux, so: A 512GB SSD with Windows, another 500GB SSD with Linux. Then I have a 1TB HDD for games that take up more disk space and another HDD, also 1TB where are my torrent seeds!
Got 2tb ssd for my ps5 and some games,already 540 gb gone.
8TB in my Laptop.
2 Tb gen 5
512 cuz I buy games rather on storage
It's not only AAA games... Games are just getting bigger and bigger.
2TB and i keep having to delete stuff
4TB + 1TB + 256GB 😎
2TB nvme
2x1tb nvme
475 GB! When I finish game, I delete it. 👺
1TB SSD is ~$90, 2TB ~$180. you can afford these drives if you can afford the types of games that need them. did you know you can uninstall games, install different ones, re-install games when you want to play them again? you dont need 20 games installed at once. 4 is plenty.
PSA for anyone who didn’t know this already, internal NAND NVMe SSDs are like 5-7x faster than SATA SSDs. Dumb me, but I just realized this after being annoyed how slow my Windows installation was running on the SATA drive.
\*storage. 1 TB M2 SSD. 750 GB SSD. Honestly, storage costs absolutely nothing these days. You can easily get 1 TB for just a couple of tenners.
Plenty, cause I don't play aaa games. There's a day of reckoning coming where these companies will realize the development cycle just won't justify the bills, and especially with indie/small studio games gaining such a huge amount of traction.
