Hey All

I currently have a 1TB M.2 SSD for my OS drive and 2TB for all of my games. I am running into an issue with storage (obviously). I want to have LOTS of storage to keep my games. I am wondering if I should get a larger drive 4TB is the largest I've seen, and install the games onto said 4TB drive....or should I invest in something more geared towards this delemma. If anyone can steer me towards a solution is greatly appreciated.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full? ("LOTS" needs to be quantified).

Open Disk Management and expand the window so all can be fully seen.

Take a screenshot and post the full screenshot here via imgur (www.imgur.com).
