Around 120GB SSD Enough?

[Werdna]

So Im using a 1TB Drive on my laptop and I've only used 55GB in almost 2 years now. Do you think around 120GB SSD will be enough for windows 8.1 and 3-5 games?

 

Do you know any SSD thats around 120GB and the price is about the same as a 1TB Drive?

 

This is for a New Build.

not if you're planning on installing the games to the ssd

depends on the games but it should be fine if you are using 55gb.

but try to get 180/240gb, that will be fine for sure.

This. If you only have a couple games and stuff a 240SSD would be fine.

If you install games on that, you will find it is pretty small. I'd go 200+ GB

Yeah. But I'd go with a 256, 120 fills really fast

he has a laptop, so installing them on the ssd will be his only optin.

Just went into my steam library, chose five modern-ish games at random and they came to 105 GB. Not a statistically valid measure, but the point is that five games alone can come very close to filling that entire SSD.

256GB seems to be the sensible place at the moment in terms of storage capacity, and price.

you could keep the hdd from your laptop until you get a better solution.
