Is a 240GB SSD enough? or 500GB needed?

Will this be enough to hold all of the following windows 7/artwork/videos/frontend/emulators/programs

Edit*** (No roms or games)

I'm talking about if you went and tried to get everything available. Would I run out of space on a 240gb drive?

All games will be on mechanical HDDs so I'm purely talking about everything else on a Hyperspin specific SSD.

Extra question... What's the size of your hyper folder minus any games?

Dude, I have a 4TB for hyperspin and it's almost full and I don't even have PS2 or Wii setup. Just GameCube alone is 675GB, PS1 is another 600GB. I keep all my PC games on a separate 3TB drive and that one too is almost full. If you want the Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO and the other CD based systems, you're looking at an additional 500GB or so.

^^^^ hmm seems like you missed everything I was asking. (Without any roms/games).

if you don't want to include games.

 

you are looking at about 100 GIGS of Hyperspin + all the support files (Videos, wheels, themes ect)

Most of the size will be consumed by the video.  The videos can be moved to a slave drive.

 

emulators =  10  ( it depends on what you are running)  I'm giving you an exaggerated number.

 

 

so a 240 Gig hard drive is more than enough if you are willing to put all your roms in a slave drive.

With a 256GB SD card, I've got all the early relevant 8bit and 16bit cart systems setup nicely.  For many of the early CD systems (3DO, PSX, SegaCD, Dreamcast, TG-CD, PSP, etc.), I have all the media setup if I want to swap games, but I only have room for a few of my favorite games on each console.
