Storage for games?

[Zonal]

Hi everyone! I currently have a 512gb nvme for boot and my most played games and a 1tb hdd for the rest of the games and files. Both have like 100gb left and I think I should get new storage. I’d like it to be good for gaming but a hard drive is fine. Probably at least a terabyte. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

if you want it to be really fast, you could always get another nvme, if your motherboard has enough room, but a hard drive will do. I just got a Seagate Barracuda 2TB (7200RPM) and its great. It comes in a 1TB model too.

it's decent, although i think you can find cheaper ones or faster ones for the same price

That’s a good suggestion but my motherboard only has one nvme spot and I’m using it right now. It had an xpg gammix in pretty sure.

go with the mushkin then. I see it's TLC, so should be good.
