My home desktop only has 500GB(!!) and before today it had a little more than 100GB left. I've been downloading BG3 last several hours and guess how much space is left😭

I'm not into gaming much and the only other large game that's installed is WoW, and those two games occupy ~300GB.

That made me realize, for those who enjoy gaming, it must require a lot of storage to play AAA games, etc. How much storage do y'all have on your PC/consoles?

*edit: it doesn't have to be for gaming only!

My PS5 has 3.5 TB. 1TB internal, plus 2TB NVME, plus 512GB external.

My PC has 1TB NVME for windows, a 2TB NVME game drive, a 512GB NVME I'm not really sure what for yet, a 4TB SATA SSD backups drive, and 2TBs SATA SSD for media/downloads/older games. I also have an external 8TB HDD fo backups. So 9.5 TB of SSDs and 8TB external.

SSD prices have dropped massively lately. You should get a 2TB NVME drive, which you can easily find for $100 or less.

And that last point is why I get so irritated when it costs $150 to upgrade from 256GB to 512GB on a phone.
