Pros

  • If she already has a 512GB SSD, I’d keep the OS and main games on that and use a cheap 2TB HDD just for bulk storage. It won’t slow the system itself, only whatever runs directly from the HDD.
  • In the meantime the 2tb HDD is good enough and i dont mind swapping games around on steam if i need to)
  • Idk how much theyre going for rn but i have a 2tb hdd just for bulk storage. I also dont bother playing games so badly optimized that they take up over 200gb.
  • No issues with the pc at all I built this around lockdown I think when gpu prices were crazy.

Cons

  • I'm currently in the process of building my new PC. However, my plan is to use my 1TB WD_Black SSD NVMe and 2TB HDD from my old PC to use for my new PC.
  • Man, it's a really bad idea to pay $3,000 for a PC and then install games on an HDD. That will be a miserable experience.
  • No reason to go a 2TB HDD, just go a 2TB NVME SSD
  • All games stored on 2TB HDD
