I originally planned the new PC build to be just for playing X-Plane, but I've invested a lot of money into buying all of the components so it would be a bit of a waste to just play one game on it!
But if I were to use the PC for other app/games then I imagine I'd run out of space on the M.2 SSD, particularly as I've seen that you should keep a certain percentage of the space free on it.
So, is it worth me getting a second hard drive that would be 1TB+ to future-proof the PC a bit. The cheaper route would be a mechanical drive which would disappoint me in terms of performance. A 1TB SSD would not be cheap.
Do I just wait until I actually need one and then open up the case again in the future, or install one now?
