C-zom 02/13/24 2:03:57 AM #19:	1TB all day. Especially with Steam being so easy to fire and install games, you'll be shocked at how fast 500GB goes. Most modern games are 80-120gb. Looking at my catalog, Warhammer 3, Baldurs Gate 3 and Anno 1800 would take up your drive. Or the newest CoD + GoW 2018 would do it alone. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:978815714] in Should I g...

Shotgunnova 02/13/24 3:20:41 PM #22:	I got the 1TB and have been using microSDs. I think 512 + cheap cards is okay, but more space is more space! Note that there's been tales of Decks messing up the formatting on cards for some reason, and I have no idea if that still applies. I bought a couple a few denominations smaller than 1TB for that reason (never had any trouble myself with formatting myself, though). Just something to think about or research. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:978824776] in Should I g...
