I had that observation and self-question just the other day: though SSD’s are great in terms of speed, what kind of indicator do we use for knowing we’re close to end of life? realizing a HDD can just DIE on you suddenly too but like @deathincclan mentioned, often theres some tangible audible cues or occasional error messages indicating data issues. Do SSD’s have health markers to provide indication that “hey, time for a replacement here” ?

Thanks all for your replies, very helpful, and so quick! i left a thanks on each one for your trouble.
thanks @theloafer for breaking out those rough estimates for larger releases and size of PUP packs. so it sounds like from what you and others have stated that starting out with at least 1 TB should last awhile on storage for everything Pinball and then having a dedicated OS drive (ssd) for the OS. This is pretty easy to swallow, i’m coming from messing around in the emulation scene where all the stuff there can rack up into the multi-TB range so didnt have a clue what the virtual pinball world might be like as i have read there are lots of ‘real world’ tables as well as ‘new user made’ (unsure about the proper lingo ha) tables so figured likewise the storage space could get crazy for hoarders. :)
