    How big is your SSD?

    Thinking of getting a SSD dedicated to just games, either 1 or 2TB. Anybody here do the same thing? How does your SSD capacity work out for you?

    I have a 256 gb with windows and I install wow on it when i play. I also have a 500gb one with some games on it. I think 1 TB is the minimum these days considering how big games are getting.

    Damn, I came here to answer "how big is your SSD?" and answer something along the line; it's about the size of a table.
    On topic, I have no idea tbh, think it's maybe 256gb. My computer is used for World of Warcraft and nothing else so it works out just fine for me.

    I've got a 256GB and a 512GB one. The universal law for storage is that it's never enough.

    I have a 256 in my laptop. It is enough for me since I only play wow and maybe 1-2 other games that I have installed at one time.

    Yes but I find SSD more of a luxury than a necessity, HDD worked just find for me in terms of loading times. If you spend most of your time on PC then I don't see any reason of not getting one.

    1x120GB for OS and some programs, 1x750GB for games and some other programs.

    I'll be replacing the 120GB with an NVME drive soonish. As already mentioned, storage space is never enough. Games these days are also very large, I have like 60GB left on the game drive and have to uninstall something when I want to install something else.

    One is 500gb and other 250gb. Way too small FeelsBadMan Have to still use HDDs as well for anything else than games and heavier programs.

    Yeah I ran with HDD for a while, but the one I use is starting to die and files are getting corrupted left and right. So if I am gonna get a new storage might as well get SSD.

    Main: 500gb, 2tb
    Server:500gb, 1tb
    Laptop: 500gb
    External : 500GB

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    First one (where I install all games and programs): 232gig
    Second one: 243gig

    These sizes have served me well for quite some time now, but I'm just about to receive a much needed upgrade of my computer so I'm getting bigger SSDs. I'll be having x2 SSDs at 500gigabyte each, + the trusty old HDD for storage of pictures etc, that one is 221gig.
