    I just slap two 1tb nvme drives in raid0 to get 2tb and all the speeds. If it comes crashing down all my stuff is stored on my server that I care about and I try to not keep more than a few games installed plus with fiber it takes a few minutes to re-download anyways, now I just need to setup a regular backup of my config. I have a habit of doing a clean install every few months so I’m used to living mostly off my server at this point

      It blows me away when I play a game like Valheim or Vampire Survivor and find out the game that took 1000 hours of my life is smaller than a two hour movie.

    At the time I got my current system, I did 1tb SSD for the main, and a 4tb HDD for data drive.

    For my next system, I think I’ll split that a bit more evenly, as most of my games end up on the HDD which means they a bit to load
