1TB Dedicated SSD Enough

Is a 1TB SSD for DCS World 2.5.X Stable (Only) enough for a while till they start releasing a lot of stuff or should I opt for 2TB

I have DCS and X-Plane, with a couple of other things on a 500 GB SSD. I have most aircraft and all terrains for DCS. It is starting to get a little crowded though. 1 TB sounds good for me.

samsung 970 evo plus 1TB

960 Evo 1 TB here and its enough

1 TB is plenty

1 TB is plenty

yep. it won’t even be half full

I just did an upgrade from an old HD. I looked an it was a 1T and it was right at 50% and that is for everything on the PC, not just games. So I got a 1T SSD also.

For people that dont know their way around with PC's, it is easier to buy larger disks as that gives you more time for someone to stop by and clean it out ;)

Done that twice last week, at 9pm via Teamviewer with friends who called in... they know Excel and Word better than I do, but they have no idea how to clean a drive, search forbig files, savely delete the right ones etc... They all have 256GB Samsung SSD's.

I have to constantly monitor my 250GB 960 Evo nvme OS drive, a few large downlaods, one old win10 and some other leftovers and I am stuck with 85% filles, usually its just above 50% usage. 100GB go fast these days.

1TB wont save you from cleaning out the sys drive, it just gives you plenty more time until that day comes ;)

250GB? How you live Bit? :D

I keep my two 4GB magnetic HDs just to do backups of my SSD. But I could never use mag HDs for anything other than that! These large drives sure make us lazy doesn't it? Every once in a while I break out WinDirStat to get rid of large redundant files (of which there are many!)

haha

distribute, 4 SSDs take all the compute and my 2 HDDs are only for storage only & backup with Acronis.

Windirstat or Treesizefree are my friends as well.

Back, when I bought them all, 250GB was the de facto standard and 1TB expensive as hell.

...thinking about a 1TB nvme tbh...

I hear you. The first SSD was 128GB for me :) And why I have a 512GB NVMe and 1GB SSD. I'm guessing the 1TB NVMe's have come down quite a bit.

Do it! (on the 1TB M.2 NVMe) My gaming PC is now Insta-boot. A huge price drop on the moderate speed M.2 NVMe (3100 - 3400 MBps) during sales (under $100) since they have delivered the ultra-fast new ones (Read Speed Up to 5000MBps).

I use Macrium Reflect instead of Acronis. I was a long time Acronis user and stated having problems with it maybe a decade ago. They were modifiying the MBR. I think these days either are good.
