Even if I had a drive that big I'd still fill it up and need another

I installed a 1TB HDD in my rig about two months ago, upgrading total storage from 750GB to 1,75TB. It's 50% full now

You only have to have a few games installed these days and space soon becomes an issue, GTA V 55+ GB, Witcher 3 62GB, Ark 60GB are just three I have to juggle from SSD to HDD depending on the session.

W3 is only 50GB for me:huh:

but still, games are getting a lot bigger these days. Higher res textures are a big one. Many 4k texture downloads are a few GB's themselves. Obviously other stuff but i think graphics are a big reason why.

Isn't doom like 85GB now?
Dirt is 50gb or so now as well

Games just keep getting bigger, they should just sell em on their own SSD, be so much easier.

When you start getting in to HD movie storage, space becomes an issue REALLY fast. I've got 4 2Tb hard drives full to the brim that I have to pick what to delete off to download new content, lol.
