  Yeah but even second hand drives are stupid-priced today. No, I dont want to buy your 2014 1TB drive for 25€ + shipping.

  I can’t wait for this to pop, I mean if it does in a way that produces selloffs.

      Checking leboncoin (french place where people sell & buy stuff) there are lots of em for 20€ +p&p

      But there are also these kinds, for 10€, I almost want to make a RAID6 with a bunch just to see

        He said that receiving is the issue. So even if you buy it cheaply here, he might have to pay a huge sum in taxes

  I can never get people to understand this. I’ve got servers running on i7 8th gens, with stock 16GB ram. I could upgrade, but no need. People thinking they need 128GB to plays games are delusional.

    To run games, you might need at least 32Gb. 64 Gb is sufficient in most cases. Still expensive af

      16GB is fine for most games, 32GB is handy if you run a lot of poorly optimized mods, but also memory compression helps with that significantly. 8gb of memory gets pretty cozy for gaming these days though, but again memory compression makes a big difference.

      Both my and my wife’s computers have 32GB of RAM because it was cheap enough to not be worth worrying about, but if RAM is expensive you don’t need a ton of it to enjoy your games

        Yeah, this is my point and experience too. 32 is better, I’d say 16 min. But people crying about needing 128 should rethink their priorities for gaming, were in a recession lol. Save your money.
