You're gonna need a bigger storage drive!

INSTG8R · Oct 12, 2019

Currently have 3TB dedicated for games 1TB 960 QVO SSD and my now ancient 2TB RAID 0 array of 2 1TB WD Blacks. I mean you can see my Internet speeds I download and delete games on a whim. Recently signing up for MS XGP it has new games added all the time so I just “sample“ and delete. That said I’m thrashing my new 960 QVO doing that though...

I tend to not like a people with a faster internet connection than me, but considering that's most of the people here, I can't hold a grudge and just have a little cry instead....

I long for 100Mb down and about 30Mb to 50Mb upload speeds, that would be amazing.... I definitely do need to move house!! :crying: :laugh:

You’re gonna hate that i also live in the country in a single roundabout town Pop. 500 Norway is really well wired for Fibre. Technically I could have 1000/1000 if I wanted to pay for it :pimp:

Oh you just had to make that poor man cry ditten you :slap:

. Shame on you.

But it can't be help, as I am probably also making him cry now with my upgrade plan.

For now I have a dedicated 2 tb sata SSD for games. But after I have upgraded from X58/I7 980X to a X570/Ryzen 9 3950X system. I will make a few changes to game drive as well. Ad in a second 2 tb sata SSD and a PCIe gen 4 1 tb m. 2 nvme SSD for os and games with long load times for in total of 5 tb pure SSD game storages because HDD are just to plain slow
and mixed with a 600/600 mbits fiber connection. I should be set for games the coming years. With games closing in to 200 gb per game, I don't want to run out of storage ever.

Nuckles56 · Oct 12, 2019

I'm only running a 1TB NVMe drive, 500GB SSD and a 2TB HDD in my rig, though I plan on putting a 6 or 8TB drive in sometime soon.

If it was available to me, I'd be having it but sadly not lol

Still that's what my 1Gb network connection is for

Everything is stored on my server and I've got two big servers going up with 20Tb storage, so I should have enough space, for a minute

You figure a 500GB SSD gives you 465 GB of space after formatting. The following three games take 473 GB so they would not fit on a 500GB drive...

Final Fantasy 15 - 148 GB
Red Dead Redemption 2 - 150 GB
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare .... 175 GB

I'll remind people that the Witcher 3 with all DLC included is under 50GB and World of Warcraft with 15 years of expansions is only 70 GB

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a whopping 175GB on PC

UPDATE 10/10/19: Activision has updated its official system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PC, offeri…

Shadow of War complete edition comes to around 140gb as well.

What about noise? I'm dying to replace my old hdd with a 1tb ssd because of that. :/

My HDD makes no noise at all.

Argh, I've got an 8TB drive waiting on the shelf to replace my 3TB game drive. I'm down to just over 300GB left on the 3TB.

Send it to me real quick. I need to reconfig some storage but don't want to buy an 8TB to play leap frog. I'll send it back.

Its not public, but with market trends id say a little under or at $10k/unit

theFOoL · Oct 14, 2019

And that's why most games in the future are cloud based so all you need is a FAST Connection which some can get and some can't :eek:

Trouble is a fast connection only goes so far when there's a data cap limit set by the ISP.

Yeah, I was mistakenly under the impression that HDD noise levels hadn't improved that much over the last decade. Good to learn otherwise. Regardless, I just ordered a new SDD last week so I can retire the ol' spinning platter.

Looking at what Samsungs 30TB SSD's cost, my estimate from there, buy a brand new car instead.

Not as expensive as I was thinking to be honest but still wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy over priced and on a SAS connection as well, so raid card or SAS motherboard connector required

LOL that's cutting it a bit cheap if they're aiming for a relative $ cost per GB and the avg being around $0.32perGB that works out to be $32K US + Taxes

theFOoL · Oct 14, 2019

Here's my rant on HDD... "HDDs make noise yes but if you have stoppers in the screws then your good" and for SSDs only for OS and games but only if you have $$$ for the storage capacity and HDDs are good for storage :clap:

And HDDs cost way less vs storage capacity but yes SSDS are low in price for now...

maybe. ‍They also make you go through a VAR iirc and make you buy like 1000 at a timr

which is what I was basing it off of. There market is nothing like consumer.

Ok, though I have to warn it is only 5400RPM. I thought it was 7200RPM, but its been so long since I put it in storage I forgot it was 5400RPM. It's probably why I just put it up in storage instead of using it in the first place.

So I'm not going to use it for what I thought I was, so you can borrow it if you want. If you seriously want to borrow it, PM me and we can work out details.
