I think I play too many games... or do I? At 2TB I'm running low, need advice

[Hoppled]

So, basically I'm trying to tackle more so the philosophy and what might be more reasonable/healthy for someone.

I work full-time and will try to squeeze in a few hours a day after work and play on the weekend. I like a lot of different games and genres, so currently the main ones are:


Delta Force
Marvel Rivals
Rivals of Aether 2
Warhammer Darktide/Vermintide
Call of Duty
Fortnite

Then I have some games installed that I sort of have on the back-burner right now, but return to occasionally: Tarkov, SF6, Space Marine 2.

And of course, there's a lot of the little side games I'll always play: Balatro, Nuclear Throne, Houseflipper 2, etc.

With all that said, I'm running down to the last 100-200GB on my 2TB total storage.

I ordered a new 2TB NVMe right away, but then had regrets, as someone asked "do you have time to play all those games?".

Now, I'm not sure if I should start downsizing or what, but I genuinely want to play all these so, idk.

Let me know your thoughts.

2TB?!
game on bro, you're worth it.
if not you then who, right?

Back up your saves, almost all of them already are on steam cloud anyway. Uninstall most games. Get a fast internet connection and download whatever one you want then.You can't play all of them at once. Not very well.

2TB is fine.

Best rye.... I mean best buy...

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. In this pc i have 16tb of space will never need it but always have it. Thing is say your internet went down for 24 hours and you have digital only games and only a couple installed its not good. I have used 8tb of 16tb.

Well my 2 TB SSD's are only 1.81 TB in actual storage which kind of sucks.

I am installing things on my 1TB but only because i wanna keep the drives even in space, over filling a drive will impact speed.

Basically you should get another 2TB drive, try to empty the one you have a little bit to improve performance.

having many hobby is greater than having one, spending more time on one thing sometimes get one person mad, because there really haven't been many great hobby to choose from.

keep a disk HDD to store games when they are not frequently used. I think 2 tb will meet the meet of most gamers,maybe in future games size will grow again, ssd will be cheaper also, but now more than 2 tb is bit like fringe in gamers,

[Fuki]

2tb is measly. games are just yuge nowadays

[Hammer Of Evil]

time to get 6TB

Yeah 4TB drives are getting cheaper, it's a good idea because it will be just one drive, instead for example having 4x 1TB drives.

[THE LORD]

You should buy a 4TB drive. They have come down in price.

[Bind0fGod]

Get more space. Games are just too big now.

I have 10tb in my computer across 4 drives.

6 of that is M.2 SSD. 1tb m.2 for OS. 1tb and 4tb M.2s for games and downloads or wtvr.

The other 4 tb is an old Seagate Barracuda HDD that I use for data deep storage.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah call of duty alone is like 170GB. Mortal Kombat too.

I ordered the Crucial T500 2TB off Amazon. My mobo is Asus TUF B650-e, not sure if there’s a 3rd m.2 slot.

Is this it?

Looks like three M.2 slots.
