If I recall correctly I need ~45TB to install just my games.
I was happy when I managed to get a 2TB in my computer a few month ago.
I had a 1TB before that, and I think a 320GB before that.
This PC doesn't support drives over 2TB though.

It would be fantastic if I could store all my games at the same time. As it is I'm constantly deleting and downloading new stuff.

Actually I just got a huge upgrade there as well, I recently went from 1Mbps (2-3 peak) to ~25Mbps (35 peak).

Oddly enough I don't actually play much, averaging less than 2 hours a day of actual play time. I think I spend as much or more time here in the forums. Also I spend at least an hour a day (average) browsing for sales of various parts. The rest of the time I spend saving the world and such. But I'm not supposed to talk about that.

Get an USB 3.0 card and ext hdd

I do have an old ESATA HDD dock, it's got 2 slots but I don't know if I can use both at once. I think it may actually be limited to 2TB as well. I don't actually have any extra drives at the moment, I don't even backup my PC. I've probably only used this dock a few times in a decade, I don't think I've ever actually figured out how to get a functioning clone. Since I've never really figured out how to utilize it, it's just been a really big unwieldy USB stick...which are only good for taking a copy of your homework to school (thus this dock has been mostly useless).

I saw the giveaway in general hardware, maybe I'll get lucky and win a 6TB. I'm thinking I can format it in 2TB chunks or something, hopefully that'll work.

I also have one of those Amazon fire sticks, brand new in the box (with all the wrapping etc). Got it pre-order and it's only been used once, I don't have a TV or anything with an HDMI port (was supposed to be for my dad, but his TV blew up so he got a smart TV). It's sitting next to the dock. I wonder if it's still worth something, it's not as old.

So now I'm wondering if I should gift this stick to somebody or something. Though it was tied to my dads Amazon account. I wonder if/how I would clear the device. :hmm:

Had my first tortilla soup. Made me nauseous.

My steak came out extra well done. And it had nasty slime on it. Recommend everyone pass on square cafe in Old Town Manassas.

If you ordered a steak well done the chef probably hawked a loogie on it after he nuked it :)

Might explain the slime.

:sneaky:

Some are touchy that way.

I so don't miss school. It was more stressful than adult life.

Enjoy. :p

But in the end it's worth it. Do that homework and study hard, and don't do drugs, and stuff.
