I think I need to consider adding another SSD / HDD to my system to be honest. Games are a bit too big for their own good nowadays. I might do the math later on just how much space I'd need to install the entirety of my Steam Library, for a laugh.

Probably one of the key things I actually appreciate about the Nintendo Switch. Outside of small, relatively minor updates, games can be played from the Cartridges without much issue. Ah, the good old joys of physical media lol.

Sorry, bit random, was just looking through some stuff to install.

I have 2 SSD's dedicated for game installations.

Living in a regional/rural area means internet speeds can sometimes be somewhat lack luster. Only 4 years ago the only option for internet here was ADSL with speeds topping 25mb/s on a good day and constant drop outs, sometimes for hours at a time. Streaming services like Netflix were mostly unwatchable due to constant buffering.

The NBN (Australia's National Broadband Network) rollout came to our area about 4 years ago and we could connect to a more reliable service using fixed wireless technology with speeds topping 65mb/s, though usually 50mb/s. Although it was a vast improvement in speed games could still take hours to download, sometimes having to be left to overnight so as not to impact on the household internet.

About 4 months ago I was lucky enough to be able to connect to Starlink by SpaceX. Internet speeds are now topping at 350mb/s with an average of 260mb/s. Games which took overnight to download now take about an hour or so, all the while not impacting on the household internet, so now I do not need worry about storage space for games on the off chance I want to play something.
