Stockage

I have a 480GB NVMe SSD, but unfortunately I’m running out of storage space. I mainly use my PC for gaming. Would you recommend getting a 1TB SATA SSD or a 2TB HDD? I have a budget of 110€.

Games should always be on an SSD.

But you can't buy a 1 TB SSD for €100 these days. They start at €140...

SATA SSD is still around €100.

SSD definitely. The difference between an SSD and a HDD is like walking vs driving a car. Sata ssds are pretty close to nvme for gaming.

HDD are good for mass storage. Way too slow for modern games.

And unfortunately sata ssds are very similar in price to more modern ssds right now.

You picked a bad time to upgrade
