Should I buy a 1TB SSD (Crucial) ~130€ or a 4TB Red HDD (Western Digital) ~120€. Want to store Games and Data. Maybe I should go full SSD for my system because its the future?

What games will you be installing (& how many)?

Probably SSD.

Difference in performance isn't that much, but I'd personally go for the SSD in this case.

Speed : ssd
Storage hdd

Choice is yours. Take the pill i will wait for your rant

Buy both :3

I went full SSD when I upgraded my rig last year, never looked back using spinning rust!

Edit: I have an NAS for data contining spinning Rust in another room, so if you wanna have all in one machine and have large amounts of data, mixed may be the way to go.

Get the 2tb SSD, then you'll be fine!

Get an nvme ssd for maximum speed! (Around 3.5gb/s read)

Around 600GB for games I think. My idea was to use it for a system drive alternatively.

Depends, what other drives do you have?
If you have a ssd already then the hdd to store data, otherwise ssd

HDD + Optane Acceleration, my choice.

SSD for system and HDD for archival

As a secondary drive only for data a HDD is totally enough. If you want to run the whole system from it then go SSD!

Optane itself is rather expensive and those small accelerator modules are bound to tricky hard and software questions. So no HDD+optane in my opinion.

I'd go with the ssd.

I now have a 250GB NVME m.2 drive for OS and really resource intensive games (looking at you Star Citizen), a 480gGB SSD for dev and the games that just take too long to load from a spinning drive and then a 2TB HDD for the rest/bulk/downloads/etc.
Working out quite nicely so far!

I always use full SSD, currently 512GB, feel like not enough.

I have ~10 AAA games + other work stuff and its almost full, I think you need a GB if you want to play games.

@nam17887 WELCOME TO DEVRANT!

@Mizz141 thankyou sir!!

I would advise against the Red, as it is primary for NAS (if I remember correctly) and they can be painfully slow for desktop use.
