So I'm building a gift for my friend on low budget and I found a guy selling this 60gb ssd and I'm wondering of 60GB would work just for os for a while or should I get a big HDD for games and OS for a while, btw if I got the ssd it would have another drive for games

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help
