8TB WD SN850X $511 Amazon

I could use one but this drive has dropped a few times in the past few weeks, I may wait it out
 
My 2TB drive has been filling up quicker and quicker. I figured a 2TB main drive and 4TB backup drive (both SN850's) would carry me for a while, but now I'm thinking I'll need a 4/8 combo soon.
Games are getting ginormous and even just normal 'ol phone photos, videos, etc. seem to double in size every couple years.

My game drive was a 4TB. I’m thinking of moving to 8TB and selling the 4 honestly.

Some games can be 100-200gb before mods.

I bought 2x at the price of $600 oh well it was like a month ago oh well. I may pick up 2 more and yeah these needed to come down hard. I am sick of 4TB drives.

100GB+ is the norm these days. God of War Ragnarok was 175GB or so. Spider Man 2, 100GB. STALKER 2, 160GB or so. Some smaller games can still be below 100GB, but most seem to push over that now.

Let's not forget DCS. And a fully modded Assetto Corsa, mine is nearly a Terabyte.

I got an external 14TB spinner for all my old games including emulation stuff and it's half full, and I haven't even completed my PS2 library yet.
 
I just deleted a bunch of games I never will play or don't launch. You can only play one or two games a Day when you have a few dozen it gets silly.

Deleting games and reinstalling later gets annoying when they are modded.

Plus if you want to play NOW, you don't want to have to wait for the download and reinstall. I get not playing stuff you quite literally never play anymore and probably have no interest in doing so, but there are games that, at least I, can just go "hmmm I'd like to play give that a go. As an adult who has a kid I don't really have time to just play one game to occupy me all weekend (or weekday), so I do tend to bounce around with what I play, I may play GTA5 for a week off and on, the the next week may play Cities Skyline 2 for a few weeks, until I want to shoot stuff again but differently so play Far Cry 6... and just looking at those 3 things with SpaceSniffer those take up 25% of my 1TB ssd, then there's everything my kid likes to play, and well it does add up, and others may have even beefier games too, again because they like to bounce around to different games. Now granted I don't feel like I need 8TB, but I would like at least 4TB right now as a place to stash everything, I just want a decent brand drive not that ********** garbage that I keep seeing pop up for sale.

Edit: See how bad they are, it's auto censored here! LOL!

Are you talking about the same kind of drives?
 
For me this drive in Amazon shows a clipable coupon of 50-something $ right now. Check your carts if you need one.
