How much storage for a gaming PC?

[Joseph402]

Hey guys, should I get 1 or 2 TB of storage for my gaming PC? I currently have 80+ games and many of them are small but some are larger. Is the Seagate Desktop 1 TB Solid State Hybrid Drive a good choice.

Easy way to figure this out. What is the current size of all your gaming files put together? What is the current size of your hard drive running the games ?

If you play some of the latest games, the latter might be in excess of 20GB each, I would go with the larger 2TB drive, myself. you can never really know how much storage you'll need in the end.

Search for a drive which a hard drive that is fast and have a bit of storage (2TB). You don't find that fast hard drives with like 4 TB. But now I don't think you need that much storage, but I would go with a 2TB HDD with 7200RPM for a affordable price around $100. I found some good prices at Amazon:

~130 games on a 2TB disk and it is near full. ~80% of those are AAA titles with 10+GB size.
but i keep a 480GB SSD for my newer more demanding games. 10 games on there and 125GBs to go.

if going for a hard disk make sure it is at least 7200rpm with a decent cache.
