As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one.

But this isn’t really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that “you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games”.

I’m thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say “>80% disk util=> buy a new one” as a rule?

What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

    I personally have about 7tb of space in my gaming machine but that’s mostly because I used to have terrible internet and have been in the habit of downloading a bunch of stuff and holding since downloaded took too long. My speeds are much better now but I still hoard stuff anyway
