When building or buying a new gaming PC, your choice of storage capacity is important.
In this article, we will answer the question of why HDDs are still very useful and have never been outdated.
Capacity plays an important role
Capacity is the spec you’ll see listed first when looking at a storage drive, so let’s start there.
Why do game install sizes keep increasing?
Games vary in how they compress art, video, and audio assets.
While not every game takes up as much space as Modern Warfare or Red Dead Redemption 2 (150GB), AAA titles will likely continue to increase in install size as the quality and complexity of their content increases.
Since Windows 10 requires 20GB of space, it’s easy to see that some smaller drives – such as a 256GB SSD – can be almost full after installing just one AAA game.
Additionally, it depends on personal preference.
HDD is a problem of storage capacity
With a much cheaper price than SSD, HDD is a great solution to the storage capacity problem.
The perfect combination of HDD and SSD
The solution of using both HDD and SSD in parallel on one computer is the optimal choice for most computers today.
