gigapig Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 First off you probably want to delete that 2tb download as I doubt it would work and you won't get support for it here. Hard drive sizes vary on want ROM sets you want and if you included PS2 then you'll need at least 2 to 3tb just for that. I have my Hyperspin on a 250SSD and ROMs on a 3tb hard but with very few CD/DVD systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ci2own Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is a very personal decision and it depends on your needs, but for example in my case: Before Amazon Drive closed his unlimited storage i had all HyperSpin 100% Completed Sets on it and locally i had a 4Tb Drive on my HyperSpin Setup with 79209 Games of 101770. This included only favorites from big sets such PS2, PS1, etc. and all ROMs from small sets and it uses 2,06TB of it's 4TB. Now Amazon is not unlimited i have had to download all sets to my NAS and i have 100% of the ROMS of all databases (Except the undumped). So my resume is: No one will play to all 2500 PS2 or all 1800 PS1 games, etc. I will recommend a 4 or 6TB Hard drive which can include about 80.000 Games without any problem and his media (At least the one available with HyperSync. This is my setup before Amazon ended unlimited. This fits on 2,06TB with media synced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 4TB one you probably have games for at least 1 week of entertainment. Once you finished all 80.000 Games will have to buy a NAS to store PS2. Next PS3 release, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungles Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 "1 week" I would start with what you are going to actually play! For me its only the consoles that I remember and actually made it to Australia.... Arcade Games, Pinball, MS-DOS and PC Games. The rest is just "Stuff" I will probably never play/look at. All those bar the PC games fit on my portable 1TB with ample space. I think its around 15,000 titles. The PC Games I put on a separate HDD in my Main Rig so when its plugged in I can play them. The Cross language titles that I can't read I don't feel I will enjoy as much so I try not to include them where possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallmachine Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @Bungles MSY is doing 10tb hdds for $512 which is cheap from what i paid for them. The complete hyperspin set ive got which is the same as @ci2own great work takes 20tb extracted and just under 10tb zipped. Note this is just roms no media.
