My laptop has a 256GB SSD, and even this still feels plenty to me. Not sure what I'd even do with 500 times that much space.
Store 3 new AAA games?
don't exaggerate. Stores 2 AAA games.
Store one AAAA game. Ubisoft seems to have started making those.
when they add melee combat to skull and bones it'll become an AAAAA game!
Time for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games fast approaches.
There's already AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity.
Gotta have that swap space to install!
Which game?
This gave me my first legit lol today thank you
Should've added that I don't use this laptop for gaming. I also don't store multiple AAA games in parallel. But I get your point.
Games eat up my SSD at an alarming rate. I could see myself using several TB easily.
My steam deck typically has one big game installed at a time. At this point, I just want to finish baldurs gate 3 so I can delete it and put on some other games.
that's for enterprise use; also plenty of uses in a data-driven world to run predictive models on.
I really need to clean up my picture library …
Clearly you are not a data hoarder
Not at all, but I see that lots of Lemmy users are into self-hosting and like to set up their own media boxes, where I can see how large SSDs could come in handy.
