I'm constantly fighting for space on my C drive. Between hundreds of games that I refuse to uninstall and a constant flow of new files, it's not uncommon for the drive to have less than 20gb of free space.
Today, I decided I was going to buy a new drive, but before I get into that, my current set-up is:
2x internal HDDs,
One used as the main drive and one for general storage.
2x external HDDs,
both for general storage, pictures, music, rips of movies/TV shows that I want to keep the discs in good condition etc, etc.
My original plan was buying another external HDD, moving all the storage from my 2nd internal drive onto the new drive, then installing all of my games and storing saves, mods, etc on the 2nd internal drive.
However, while browsing drives, I saw some SSDs and started thinking; would it perhaps be better to buy an SSD, install my OS, browsers, etc onto the SSD and then use my current C drive in that fashion, all games + files installed to it?
I don't have a lot to spend, going by random browsing prices on amazon, I can afford a 3tb external HDD. But if I go with the SSD idea, I'll only be able to get around 250gb.
Would it be worth using a 250gb SSD and storing games on a 2tb HDD? Or am I better off just buying a 3tb external HDD as explained above?
