How much HDD space do I need?

EnsisTheSlayer · Mar 25, 2016

I'm planning on gaming and mixing and recording audio and sometime in the far future developing my own video game. Do you think 2TB is enough storage or should I go for 3-4TB? I currently have a laptop with only a 500GB HDD, but I currently only use 370GB (including OS). I also am planning on getting a 500GB SSD and downloading my entire Steam library into it. With all of that in mind, how much storage do I need for my hard drive?

I very much recommend multiple drives.
1 for the OS and applications, and 1 for data and games.

250GB SSD for the OS and applications
and whatever multi TB HDD for other stuff.

I agree, multiple drives and have some hdd and some ssd. I would say have 250 ssd and 4 tb hdd.

Yeah, I plan on getting a 500GB SSD and downloading my OS and my (entire) Steam library into. I'm just wondering if 2TB is enough for normal use plus audio mixing and recording plus game developing. I have a feeling it isn't, but I want to be sure and this site has never failed me before. Proof of that is how quickly you responded to my question. Thank you.

Seems legit. Thanks.

Whether 2TB HDD is enough is entirely up to you.
However, it is easy to add new drives as space needs grow.
