What mix of HDD’s and SDD’s storage do you have now, how full are they and how much extra space would you need for video games?

Yes, SSD storage is increasingly essential for modern video games due to faster load times, improved performance, and better overall gaming experience. Many recent AAA games now recommend or require SSDs as they rely on the high read/write speeds to handle large textures and seamless open-world rendering.

It depends on your current setup and the games you play:

– If you’re running out of storage or notice slow loading times with modern titles, upgrading to a larger SSD is a good idea.
-If you can manage with your current drive and don’t plan to install many new games immediately, you might wait, as SSD prices are continuing to drop.

For now, a 1TB SSD is considered a sweet spot for gamers. It offers enough room for several modern titles while staying cost-effective. If you’re heavily into gaming, 2TB+ might be worth considering for future-proofing.
