Why is everyone talking about 1TB being tiny? I have one 1TB SSD and it's the biggest storage medium in the entire house what kinda stuff do y'all save?
For a HDD? It's tiny and way over priced per GB.
For an SSD? It's great.
Well, they suggested a relatively small capacity in a mechanical drive
My main rig has 11TB, my media server two RAID1 arrays at 16TB and 18TB
It's easy to get out of hand with media, games, lots of VMs, dedicated boot drives, etc
My Skyrim mods download folder alone is over ½ a TB.
I also want to load a 1TB MicroSD on my Steam Deck for emulation, so I need at least another 1TB to download the image file to flash to the MicroSD card. (I don't want to fuff around downloading and curating a romset, so it's easier to just download a 1TB image from a private tracker and flash it. From there, I can just swap individual roms/romhacks in and out as needed.)
My Deck will have a 1TB SSD and a 1TB MicroSD. My desktop had 2TB, but I just added another 4TB.
On the other hand, on my phone I barely use half of my 128GB and will likely never run out of space.
Oh gawd, maybe 6TB in SSDs and 25TB in HDDs!
I need more space.
my steam deck has 2tb in it and my computer has 2tb ssds one for linux one for windows I wouldn't say 1tb is tiny but eh 2tb isn't too expensive at this point so I wouldn't buy anything below 2tb anymore personally
On my 14TB divided among 7 drives of varying capacity form and speed, games, music, DVD rips, BR rips, 3d models, backups of other systems in my possession. 14TB is getting too small for my needs honestly, prolly gonna slap another 4TB at the problem instead of deleting old stuff.
