2TB Steam storage

[millermilla]

Hi,

Would someone be so kind as to recommend me a 2TB 3.5" HDD for storing my Steam library. I want to spend £80 or less. My system details are in my signature. I use VR quite a bit and my OS is run from an SDD with an an old 320GB HDD for storing photos and video. I find some VR games such as project cars seem to run better from my SDD. Not sure if that is just as I'm comparing that with running it from an old Seagate HDD?

Thanks.

Personally I have a 575GB SSD for Steam, I don't have my whole library installed all of the time, I just download things when I want them.

As far as I know toshiba is fairly reliable and this is well within the budget as it is on sale. Pretty good if you just want to download steam games and just keep them on there.

They're all reliable - better off just getting the cheapest one you can find.

I've been looking at the Tosh P300 myself as my 2TB Spinpoint F4 is dying on me I think the only thing against it is a shorter warranty?

I've got a WD 1Tb green that's served me well for 2.5 years, I don't think you require a SSD for steam personally but others it may make more difference as I only really play ETS 2 and ATS from it

What an unusual size. May I ask which SSD?

Crucial MX300 M.2, their whole range are odd sizes.

-oops, just noticed, it's 525.
