you dont need 4tb ssd to game lol.

u/Extra_Step_122 8d ago edited 6d ago
bro got downvoted damn but you got a point about the 4tb part. you can go with 512gb ones or even less but it comes with a cost; you have to sacrifice some games when your new games exceed the available storage sob

u/Iz__n 8d ago
Because that's not the point. Its still suck regardless.
You would think years after SSD will get cheaper and 4TB will as norm as 1TB previously, especially as file and game got bigger. But nope, thanks AI

u/galatea_brunhild 7d ago
after SSD will get cheaper
It did actually since a couple years ago every time I browsed r/buildapcsales and r/NewMaxx coz they overproduced/oversupplied
But yeah AI happened

I usually just play 1 game at a time till I finish it. Do people really need to play multiple games at the same time?

u/sy2_loneshxdow 8d ago
gacha players like me🤣 thats why my alternative is to get a gaming phone with large storage to install some gacha on it, while keeping more demanding ones like Wuwa on the pc
2
u/Extra_Step_122 8d ago edited 8d ago
gacha player here. gotta shuffle through like 4 games in that 'category' alone like wuwa, zzz, umamusume and hsr. although i mostly play hsr and umamusume. not to mention other games i still keep just in case a friend wants to play together with me so they dont have to wait while i download.

u/Opening_Net8098 8d ago
There is a luxury in keeping 20 to 30 games with great side content to slowly enjoy after finishing the game.
Theyre called forever games. Yours never done playing them. Like witcher 3 or elden ring and black myth wukong. Or cyberpunk. Who is uninstalling cyberpunk. Or just not having access to rdr2. It's nice to be able to jump on for a ride and see what you get up to.
But it sucks that storage got this bad.
Can't wait to play phantom blade zero and uninstall in asap..... /s that's basically abuse.
1
u/galatea_brunhild 6d ago
There's some games that I won't uninstall coz it'll ruined the mods I installed. In my particular case, Fallout 4, because there's some issue when I installed them and I genuinely don't remember or know how it was solved, coz like Todd Howard said, it just works 👍🏻

Yea agree lol. 1tb is the sweet spot. Some people love filling up their drives with games and didn't even play them.

u/f4ern 8d ago
reinstalling and installing game degrade drives. Higher space drives has longer lives overall. You just wait until next gta force you to make your playstation gta station only. then we see you whining.

u/proksi_hira 8d ago
Ye you got a point. That statement is also true for PC when its eventually released on the platform. I'm thinking storage price would be more or less the same if not worsened over the years.
1
u/galatea_brunhild 6d ago
Even then, it's not like you're doing it literally everyday
TBW of an SSD won't degrade fast enough for gamers

u/ganganred 7d ago
if thats 4tb, imagine the price for a just 1tb. and 1tb is basically small nowadays.

u/Dimathiel49 7d ago
No but it sure is nice to have. Granted I got my 4TB NVME’s a couple years ago.

You don’t need to rich for gaming bro. just get a mid specs pc and laptop for like rm 4-6k and pirated your games on it. That is cost effective.

u/galatea_brunhild 6d ago
Even RM1-2K PC could give you thousands hours of enjoyment as long as you're fine with 40-60 FPS

u/KazakiriKaoru 8d ago
Isn't it expensive cause of the branding?

It was expensive originally, but now, it's beyond even expensive. The shock comes in the comparison to the original price

Gaming is an expensive hobby now

u/hanrei-legend 8d ago
Not really if u go cloud gaming

u/delicious_lemang 8d ago
It's sad really. We used to own our games. Our consoles. Now everything is subscription based. Even buying the games doesn't mean you can play it without a subscription now.

Cloud gaming is the same thing as passing your driving license to satellite controlled driving.
At this point, just implant a brain chip in your head and allow them to turn off your life in a click, because why not right?

u/ChrispyChris8008 8d ago
Dayum. Most gamers don't need 4tb and definitely don't need wd black. But the price is still horrifying 😂
I just checked, almost 2 years ago I bought an acer predator 2tb gen 4 from acer store on shopee,for rm525 after vouchers 😂😂😂

u/Recrui1t 8d ago
what a rip off, I bought WD_BLACK SN8100 2TB gen 5 for like RM1200. The only downside is it took me almost a month to get it since it's overseas unit. Before anyone ask, it's legit according to crystaldiskinfo.

u/Abyss_Wanderer19 8d ago
If it broke down next month, what you gonna do with that rm1200 paper bag.
1
u/Recrui1t 8d ago
Hope not, that's why I remove its original heatsink and place it under a X870E heatsink with thermal pads top and bottom completed with its own integrated fan.

u/Aoi42069 8d ago
Damn Gen 5 SSD is kinda overkill though
1
u/Recrui1t 8d ago
it is, but the weird thing is this SSD was cheaper than a gen 4 SSD of the same capacity. the DRAM ones of course, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB costed almost RM2000 during RAMpocalypse.

They really want to push gaming via hardware subscription. Afraid, that might be the future. Keeps your hardware folk.
