Are 1TB SSD + 1TB HDD enough for the future?

I'm now finished with my PC configuration.

I actually configured my PC to be very future-proof. (32GB RAM etc.)

I also installed a 1TB SSD and a 1TB HDD.

As far as I know, the SSD has a speed of 2200. But that is not really important, since the SSDs have a hardly noticeable difference in performance from a speed of 500 or more.

My problem now is that I've actually spent all of my money.

But now I'm wondering whether I should take a 2TB for 160 euro more.

So if that would avoid a lot of problems in the future, I would eat a little less this month for my sake, so that I can enjoy my gaming fun for the next few years without messing around.

I will mainly use the PC for gaming, video editing and programming.

The 1TB HDD should be enough for video editing. I even reckon that 500GB could be used for rotatable games.

Now to me: I've only had a laptop with a 512 SSD and a 1TB HDD. I had no problems with that, as I only played a few games actively, but this is also due to the fact that I couldn't play many games with my laptop in the first place.

So in summary, I'm the type of guy who, when he plays a game, does it professionally, but pays less attention to other games.

But that can change very quickly, and that's when I don't want to have to regret it for 160 euro with so much money spent…

What do you think about it, do you have problems with a 1TB SSD, or do you think that's enough!

It should also be said that my brother, for example, has a lot of games, but shouldn't be 1TB full, but he still filled it. I don't know what is wrong with his SSD, but for inexplicable reasons he can't use the full capacity of his SSD, so that makes me a little worried that it could also be the same for me.

A 256GB or 512 GB SSD is sufficient for Windows

The rest (games etc.) can be stored on an HDD

32GB is now also not "very" future-proof

And it depends on what you are storing in terms of SSD and HDD

For me, for example, 512GB SSD is enough, but I also have 8TB HDD in it, divided into 4 disks

Well, this means that the games take a long time to load.

When he plays a game he does it professionally

Do you make your money playing games?

I think all expenses are business expenses anyway, state that on your tax return.

What do you think about it, do you have problems with a 1TB SSD

The prices have fallen enormously in the last few years. My strategy is to buy smaller SSDs and buy one every now and then. In the meantime, even 1TB SSDs have become very cheap. The next time I need an SSD, it will certainly be a 2TB variant. I don't have any rotating disks in my system. I was happy when there was finally an alternative.

Otherwise you currently pay around 1,000 euro for a powerful GPU, because I would not look at records because of 1xx euro.

very future-proof configured

I think the strategy is nonsense, since the prices generally fall quite sharply, or the performance of the components grows so quickly. If you screw together a powerful computer for 2,500 euro today, it will be rather old iron in two years' time. Then better one step less and therefore constant. "Future-proof" currently means too much performance and thus too expensive and relatively soon too little performance and then no money to upgrade xD

But everyone as he thinks.

As far as the GPU prices are concerned, the whole bill no longer works out properly, they simply remain expensive with relatively old age. Unfortunately.

I did it like this:

Windows 256GB Sata SSD

1000GB SSD for everything my 1000GB HDD can't do, some games etc.

It depends on the games. But yes, with GTA 5 you can tell a lot of difference

In short: it always depends.

By the way, don't listen to people who say 265 GB is enough for Windows.
That may be the case in principle - but when you start to create data (restore points, programs, games…) it will be more than spack.

I think 1 TB is "safe" at the moment, let's say 2-4 years, but remember that games in particular are already nibbling at the 100 GB limit and the hunger for memory is not decreasing.

Oh yes: 1 TB is not enough for video editing. Especially with regard to 4k and HDR, this is more than barely calculated. I would immediately squint at 8 to 10 Tbytes.

Note: You may not have enough memory for videos and photos.
