1000gb ssd
Hi guys
Games are getting bigger and bigger.
GTAV for instance needs more than 60GB. The Witcher 3 and the new Wolfenstein all need more than 30GB.
My 236GB SSD is getting too small and I have been thinking about a 1000GB (1Terrabyte) SSD.
What are your views and which one will you recommend?
If you have the money for it, I'd say go for it, I love SSDs
Can't really help with recommendations though
Yes! It will be expensive.
I will have to sell the sparewheel of my car and my falseteeth to afford it!.
Maybe the Joker will have a recommendation.
Rebeltech looks like the best bet at this stage for such an expensive purchase.
At this stage to get extra space I am not uninstalling my favourite games, I just XCopy them to my external drive.
So if I want to play one of them again, I just copy it back.
But I feel I cannot carry on like this for a long time.
A guy I work with now studied with the South African that created XCopy back in DOS days. He sold it to Microsoft for a not-so-small fortune.Originally Posted by Zuiplap

FriedPet - I am 71 years old. The Joker have seen me. I have'nt false teeth because I still have one tooth in my mouth which I refuse to get rid off.
I uninstall games that I am finished with, but my best games like MotoGP14, Mortal Kombat Komplete, etc. I like to play regularly.
FarligOpptreden - Where are my Dos days? The first Dos game I played was the 2D sidescroller of the Prince of Persia (in the 1990's). I then had a Pentium 100Mhz with a hard disk size less than 1 GB. Unbelievable today.
It is interesting to hear that a South African has created XCopy back in DOS days.

You have false teeth? How old are you?! On second thought... who would buy false teeth second hand???
Anyways. Do you keep all your games installed? Don't you uninstall the games you finished?
I suppose if we all had uncapped fibre it would be easier to uninstall an reinstall games...
Well, looking at my libraries, I guess a 1TB ssd would be handy:
Are you running a laptop? Why bother with a 1TB SSD? Get yourself a standard SATA HDD if on a desktop.Hi guys

Space Chief - I have a 1TB Sata HDD on my backup desktop PC.
On my new desktop PC (which the Joker build) I have the SSD. I am now used to a SSD and do not want to go back to a SATA HDD. Everything with a SSD is faster (getting into Windows, opening programs, etc.)
I am now like a spoiled child, I don't want to play anymore with my old toys.
Perhaps. You can still keep your operating system and SWAP file on the SSD. Keeping your games on a fast 7200RPM drive IMO is cheaper and almost as fast. SATA3 transfer read/write rates should be close to 150MB/sec on a modern drive and computer on a fast 64MB cache 7200rpm drive.
You'll still get your Windows starting up fast. I have a Mac Pro desktop setup with a main drive being a OWC 480GB SSD and so programs start fast as does swap but assets (video, jpg, audio) and documents I keep on a variety of internal mostly Hitachi HDDs.
I got a 1TB SSD for my Macbook Pro but that's only because the device can only take one drive and I wanted solid state to avoid HDD head crashes.
For a desktop I'd go with system SSD and a variety of HDDs. In fact maybe go with two 1TB devices in RAID-0 if you really want fast speed IMO.
Space Chief - Very interesting what you are saying.
Excuse my computer illeteracy, but what does IMO stand for.
