Does it affects gaming when you have 1 tb hdd vs 2-3 tb hdd?
Assuming I only use 15% of he 1 tb


Just wondering cause everytime for years I'd delete programs, games, files and let's say get back 6-7k gb only, i'd gain lots of frames after. (even tho not even 10% of the HDD was used)
Cant tell if because that was my computer being shit with 2 core cpu or just HDD % space available mattering alot

Literally doesn't matter unless your main hdd is like 99% used.

Why on csgo on 1 tb 2 core cpu, gtx 650, average ~125 fps

If I remove anytime 20-30gb, im get prob 10 more average fps even tho my hdd is 90% empty


I guess my cpu or or pc is bad that anything I remove gives my fps boosts? :wacko: im not sure

"remove programs"

You're probably uninstalling programs that are typically running in the background, Using up what little CPU power you have is why.


The only thing a hard drive really affects for games, Is load times.

There were issues with some 3tb drives, Bad failure rate / speeds /etc.

Seagate had a pretty bad line, But it was only the 3tb drives with a certain amount of platters. Did research into it back when i bought my 3tb seagate, I got the good one :3

Idr anything else beyond that anymore though.
