Best SSD for gaming Is size important? - As games get bigger As Virtual Reality Experiences and games become more realistic, it’s inevitable that they’ll take up more space on our hard drives. For example, let's go back to 1996 and take a look at the classic hit game, Duke Nukem 3D. The game only took up 130 Megabytes (MB) of disc space. In 2000 the game Hitman: Codename 47, took up 400 MB of space, and just four years later we saw Half-Life 2 taking up a whopping 3.5 GB, that's almost nine times the size! Gears of War in 2008, jumped up to 10 GB. As far as VR titles go, Arktita.1, released in 2017, came in at 22 GB and the latest title to date (2020) Half-Life Alyx is at 66 GB. It’s a technology trend that will continue to grow for years to come. The data chart below illustrates the upward trend on how much storage space a typical game used to take up in the late 90's, to the present year and the prediction (shown in grey) over the next 10 years. If this trend continues, by 2030 we could see games exceeding the 200 GB mark. Find out more at https://www.vrone.co.uk/vr-news/best-ssd-for-gaming
