I'm considering upgrading my SSD to 1TB because my current 230GB isn't cutting it anymore. I mainly play Overwatch, Genshin, and a few smaller games that don't require much space. I also do some video editing, so I think 1TB will be enough for my needs. However, I've heard some people recommend getting at least 2TB since modern games can take up a lot of space. I'm not planning on playing new games anytime soon; I generally stick to the same 5-6 games and usually just watch game playthroughs. Plus, I have a 1TB HDD that I don't use much. I often have to redownload games like Genshin, which is over 100GB, and that takes ages on my internet. I feel like 1TB should be a massive improvement, especially since I'm on a tight budget.

Honestly, 1TB should be plenty for your current gaming habits. If you’re mostly playing a few games, you won't fill that up too fast. Just make sure to pick a solid NVMe with a heat sink if you're going that route!
It really boils down to your usage. If you're mostly sticking with a few games, then 1TB is plenty. But if you think you might expand your gaming library, aiming for 2TB might save you some headaches in a year or so.
Exactly! I just got a 4TB drive, and it's comforting to have room to breathe for games and content! But if you're sticking with a few, you'll be fine.
It really depends on your budget. If you're looking to future-proof yourself, I'd recommend going for 2TB. Sometimes you can snag a second-hand 2TB SSD for the price of a new 1TB. Just keep in mind that being safe with storage is wise!
Honestly, future-proofing isn't a total necessity. It really comes down to how much storage you actually need. I know someone who's been fine with a 500GB SSD for over 5 years. Everyone’s usage is different!
I hear you! My main deciding factor was that Steam needs enough space for entire game content when downloading updates. I ended up getting a larger NVMe for that reason.
A 1TB SSD is okay, but if you want the best experience, 2TB is better. Operating systems and games can take up a lot of space. Unless you want to uninstall and reinstall games all the time, I'd say go for the bigger size.
Lol, I might have overdone it with my 16TB of storage! But hey, different needs for different folks, right?
