>>737746204>40 gamesmaybe 10 years ago
>>737746204Games are so goddamn huge now. Why is 2TB still the standard for PC's?
>>737746204Back in the day your average console owner only owned 10 games.
how much space does every console game rom up to the ps2/xbox/gcn generation take up?
>>737746280because you don't need to have 40 games installed at onceit's ok to uninstall and reinstall if you want to play something later
>>737746280Because the Jewish ram cartel locked the prices for years and never grew the sizes of ssdsAt this point there should be 16tb ssds for cheap
>>737746204>500GB SSDI only have one game installed that's 100GB, everything else is mostly in MB
>>737746427or just buy a 24TB HDD and put all the games you won't be playing anytime soon it so you don't have to constantly redownload 50gb games.SSD is only for games you are actively playing.
average internet speed nowadays is so fast that i can download my entire steam library in half a daythere's no point in having a large capacity SSD unless it's a game with mods
cool but i only play 1 game at a time or maybe 2 max
>>737746501it's faster to download 100gb game than to transfer it from your poorfag drive to the nvme
>Playing games over 50 gbLol AAA shitters are so pathetic
>>737747007Then download it? What are you complaining about?
>>737746423The entire PS2 redump set was like 15TB iirc. You could probably get that down to like 3tb if you filter out demos, multiple regions, etc. I don't think OG xbox games were compressed before uploading so that's probably huge as fuck too
>>737747007perhaps, but the difference is that you rely on an online service to re-download your game. they can pull that game, cut your internet, throttle your internet speed, lose your account,etc. if it's on your own personal hdd, you will never run into those issues.
>>737746204>fits 100+ games with room to spare. 4TB drive so halve it.
>>737747463Halve the total of 335 I should say.
>>737746427I need more...
>>737746204Just uninstall games you aren't actively playing you mong.
>>737747284I've had internet since 1997, I don't remember this happening to me ever
>>737747498this is what bad autism looks like
>looking at storage prices nowShit is worse than GPU prices What the FUCK.
>>737747524the point is that if you need redownload, you will never actually own the game. only an absolute normie shit would rely on always online services.
>>737746204>40Lol. A full DCS install already takes around ~600Gb, and that not counting mods and other custom content. Add something like MSFS on top of it and you are basically out of space.
>>737747631>you must store your games because a thing which hasn't happened in 20 years might happen in the next 20 years
>>737746204More like 400
>>73774620440 indie games?
>>737747558I bought a 2TB m2 gen4 a week ago for 209€ in my expensive country, not on sale or anything. it was advertised as "for PS5" but it's just a standard Corsair MP600 with a heatsink that fits in a PS5, maybe that's why the retards didn't "correct" the price
>>737746204you mean 8?
>>737747498needs more launchers
why do you need more than 1-2 games installed at a time?
>>737748418>Why do you need the rest of your money? Just put it in the bank, goy.
>>737748715your analogy isn't even coherent.If you need more than 2 games installed at a time, you're probably ADD'ing between them and barely finishing them. if at all.
>>737748418i'm >>737747498 - so i only ever play 1 game at a time, currently on death stranding 2, but i like to hoard the previous games i played like that until i actually run out of space and need to do a satisfying clean up. Plus some of those games i want to replay some time
>>737746280genshin impact (unity) is around 120 gb with only english voice pack installed
>>737748993ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY GIGS OF PAIMON ASS
>>737748098is that actually a good price for 2TB? what are the average prices?
>>737749224No. It's $140 in my third world country.
>>737749224heres average in USD, next cheapest (slower) 2TB one I could find in my country was 270€
>>737746204I always say i'm going to use these ssds for nothing but games it always ends up turning into cam girl recordings and VR porn
>>737746204I have>4TB gen4 NVME>1TB gen3 NVME>480GB SATA3 SSD>4TB HDD>6TB HDDAnd I'm almost out of space. Help.No, I won't delete anything.
>>737749595rar it up and catbox
>>737748993I'm obviously not a game developer because my brain can't comprehend that PS3 ass looking thing taking up more than a couple dozen GBs, let alone 120.
>>737749671I miss the times when you could abuse google storage.Just encrypt your shit and send multiple terabytes of data into your google drive.
>>737749595I'm at 2x2tb nvme's for games and slop + 8tb HDD for "stuff", contemplating getting another HDD for more "stuff"
>>737746280It's done intentionally as a part of opportunity cost competition. If the space concerns result in you sticking for a longer period of time to the same game, that means you are more likely to buy microtransactions related to it. It's especially pertinent now, with most games switching to live service models, so it is even further advantageous for the publishers to bloat up their space to further reduce potential for you to have a competitor product installed.
>>737746204>fits 9999 games in 1
>>737749846Once you go past certain threshold you also want to get your shit backed up. I had NVME drive die on me during warranty, but I managed to copy all the files before it went completely dead.
It doesn't fit into my budget.
>>737749786What, did they not have a limit? I never used google drive.
>>737750197You could do up until couple years ago, yes.You just needed basic Google One individual plan.
>>737750327Did it have a upload size limit?
>>737750348For sure but I haven't found it.The only limit was my internet connection.
A lifetime's worth of storage is like 1/5 of a monthly salary.
>>737750597Where?
>>737746204>40 gamesMore like 4 at best
>>737750597Where can I buy multiple exabytes of storage that cheap?>inb4 in the futureDoesn't count.
>>737746204>built my latest pc in 2015>thinking that its time to upgrade>be lazy about it>ram prices explode>secondary memory prices explodeMaybe I'll hold out a few more years instead
Hard drives are reaching 30TB+ but M.2s peaked at 8TB and even before AIslop ruining RAM prices they were still at $800-$1000+ apiece while 4TBs were as low as <$300 and even $200~ for garbage models.
>>737750717It's never going back down, if you didn't upgrade last year you have officially missed the boat, what you have now is very likely the last PC you will ever have and once that dies, that's it, game over, unless you are willing to blow 3000+ for merely middle range specs
>>737746204>2.5tb total storage>Have a bunch of old 2tb hdds Install time sucks cause harddrive but hey at least they still get a use
>>737747558It's genuinely ridiculous.The same WD SN850X (2TB) I grabbed two years back for $125 is now going at triple the price, commonly around $300 to $400. It used to be just GPUs feeling the brunt of all the stupid fucking tech trends like crypto, but now with the AIslop boom, everything consumer side is being pushed to their barely acceptable limit.My general takeaway for anyone holding off on upgrading is to grab what you can when there's a decent sale or MSRP even for hot items because this shit is never going to correct backwards to where it "should" be.
>>737750798I have the money to blow, it just doesn't feel worth it.I miss when buying the 1070 for like $400 - $500 was deemed pretty expensive for a gpu
>>737750940Nothing is going to correct backwards, ever and it never had. Take what you can get for whatever price you can, because this is the death of consumer computing and soon legislation will follow to seal the deal.
>>737750940It's never going down, the lowest it'll be will be 1.5x-2x the original price once the AIslop boom is overMaking parts expensive is part and parcel of "you'll own nothing" and pushing cloud subscription computing
>>737746204>I only play Oversized AAA slop exclusively. And all My games have to be installed at all times even if i have not played some of them in years.
>>737746280SSDs are expensive and competition for the limited manufacturing capability is fierce, that's the only reason.
>>737750597>everyone lives in Scheißßenhausen like I dofag
>>7377509951070 also had 8GB VRAM in 2016, now they're selling 5060 (+Ti) models with only 8GB
>>737746237181 games installed across two ssds.
>>737751189They need to make laws prohibiting billion dollar companies from buying up years worth of product.
I hope you're enjoying unchecked capitalism.
>>737751312this, we are at its final breath
>>737747498Here's the "more" you ordered, sir.
Devs make their games as big as possible on purpose to reduce the number of other games you can have installed, making you more likely to play their game.
>>737751440Hope you have redundant storage for all of those...
>>737746204you sure?
>tfw when 500tb of hdd space and 10tb of ssd space>bought all my storage before the ai boom took overfeels good having all this land
>>737746204>fits one modded skyrim
>>737750940funny clown world where nothing ever goes down in price and things only ever go up, fucking retarded ass world where rich people get to diddle kids and pay people off with thousands of dollars that are simply pocket change to them
>>737751819why are you acting surprised the world runs on money and literally nothing else matters?
>>737751906israel matters
I cheaped out last year and settled for a 1tb mx500 and 870 evo. Never managed to get an m.2 prezog prices
>>737751706> not open BASEDnot gonna make it....
Besides a couple dirt cheap external drives for storing music and shows I have a single 250GB (227 usable) SSD.
>>737747631I think you're autistic bwo, post your finished games list of the past year you probably dont even game and yet doesnt have a family, wtf.
>>737746236My grandfather plays a gameboy advance. Im not playing old people games.
>>737751261Cool it with the antisemitic posts.
>>737751261The bigger problem is the laws that prevent companies from competing with the ones making all the money.
>>737750940Unfortunately elections have consequences so we are probably never seeing an end to this AIslop.
is this a good deal? not samsung but official lenovo
>>737754003>AliexpressYou are going to get scammed.
>>737754003100% scamIt's some garbage e waste ssd done up to look like a 980 Pro.
>>737754003>only 1 left buy nowsolid deal if you want to get a rock
>>737746204i have the exact models you posted and i'm lucky if i can fit 20 games or so
>>737746204Do you really need that many games on your computer?
>>73774620440?Games are 400gb nowadays
>>737754003isn't that a Samsung pic?also>1TB 2TB 4TB>Color: 980Pro 2TBenjoy your picture of a M.2
>>737747081Path of Exile 2 is the greatest ARPG of all time.
>>737754003>by Shop1105274056 Storedefinitely legit, pull the trigger
>>737754003Obviously it's a good deal, but there's not a chance in hell it's real.2TB 980 Pro's were never $80 even at their lowest price point. Are you insane? Use common sense bro.
>>7377462804TBs are starting to show up then the whole dram bullshit happened
>>737746204Works for me
>Bought a 2tb 990 pro for just over £100 in December 2024>Now it's £300Joke
>>737754457Specs and how much did you spent anão?
>>737760172Victory
>>737754457>WWE 2K26 130 GBHOLY FUCK
>>737747498That many icons would be too overwhelming for my ADHD. I just keep my desktop icon-free and just type in the name of the game I want to play in the search and press enter.
>>737746204that's on you for playing modern slop
