Twinblade★ 3,929 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I think this is going to be an unavoidable caveat of next gen for all platforms (including PC). As more and more games include dedicated 4K textures, storage sizes are just going to continue getting bigger and bigger. We'll just have to get in the habit of deleting unused games & those we don't plan on firing up anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So because console plebs can't expand their storage, we can't either? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many hermits have 2-3gb PCIe4.0 NVMe drives? Not a large amount, the average PC gamer is going to be in the same situation unless they want to drop >$400 on a single drive.

Twinky I have 3TB of SSD storage and 4TB of HDD storage... and I can move things back and forth as I please At least on Series X you can buy expansion cards and swap them like game carts. On PS5 you literally have to power down the console and "install" a compatible drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I guess you don’t need one because even if you did, the ps5 would still run circles around it when it comes to game loading times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've got a laptop the height of a quarter, with 1.5 TB of SSD space. 3 minutes ago, Twinblade said: Yeah I guess you don’t need one because even if you did, the ps5 would still run circles around it when it comes to game loading times Once again, for the 3-5 games you can install at any one time.

I mean if the difference is 7 secs on PS5 vs 13 secs on a Gen4 NVMe, who really cares at hour 60 of the game? The point is you're no longer dealing with mechanical harddrives 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
