i recently bought a 500 gig samsung 850 evo ssd just for my steam account. i only have 8 games downloaded onto it.
i just downloaded Squad. Steam said the game was a 3.5 gig DL. before i started the DL, my ssd said i had 42.8 gig remaining. after the DL finished, it said i have 34.1 gig remaining. that means that a 3.5 gig DL on my ssd actually took 8.7 gig.
Is a gig of data on an SSD different than on a HDD ?
or is there something wrong?
why is 8 games taking up so much of my SSD space.
downloaded games are;
ARK
Arma 3
CS-GO
H1Z1
Miscreated
Rust
Squad
Witcher 2
correction; Squad is actually a 12 gig DL. which confuses me even more now.
according to Steam info on the games i have downloaded for recommended space, all 8 games only come out to 148 gig of space.
i am so confused.
Help please. but use kid gloves. i am hardware smart, software stupid. thank you.
