As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one.

But this isn’t really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that “you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games”.

I’m thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say “>80% disk util=> buy a new one” as a rule?

What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

    I only have a few games and two 500GB SSDs have been more than enough for me. My first started to fill up with ~60GB left on storage so I grabbed another.

    SSDs are pretty cheap now. If you can afford larger ones, I don’t see why you shouldn’t grab one just in case you find yourself with a big library of games in the future.
