Disk SSD How Many?

Disk for Unreal Engine 5.
What suitable SSD disk should I buy for it?
Will 2TB be enough? I would like it to be cheaper and compatible with Windows 10 and an Acer laptop. Help me because I ran out of disk space because I downloaded objects from FAB
It would be best if it was on external USB, there is no option to do it on internal.
Thanks for the answers

Hi @kkkkrthwthth

1TB should be enough for UE5, and you’ll have space left for at least one or two projects. But the Unreal guide says that a typical system has 2TB. I think you’d have more than enough, and you could upgrade it later if you don’t want to spend too much right now. Of course, the size of the projects will depend on the content. UE5 needs approximately 115 GB.

You could buy an external SSD, but keep in mind that SSDs are already expensive, and being external will make it even more costly.

What exact Acer model do you have? It might have space to ad an M2, which would be cheaper than an external SSD.

Personally, I’ve always used Western Digital and Kingston. They are good products, fairly affordable, and I’ve never had any issues with them.

I hope I helped!
Let me know how it went! :wink:

There are auctions in Poland so I will choose Kingston
I use Unreal Engine 5. In addition, the games I make like Carmageddon Reincarnation and 20 maps, it will take a lot. So I will choose 2TB, we still have the standard one

Last question, because no one answered me. How do I connect textures perfectly? I know someone wrote to me to look on the internet, but I can’t find it, I’m from Poland, and I don’t understand a bit. That’s why I use google translator ;/

There is one texture that is not perfect. But I think that’s it.

Hey @kkkkrthwthth

I’m glad to hear that!!
Good luck with your map, and I look forward to the video!!! :wink:

While adding snow the graphics card crashed D3D I don’t know what to do please I’m devastated

Enabling D12 and solve problems :slight_smile:

I added snow to the map, but it stutters terribly, what can I do? I have it set to DX12 ;/.
After removing the snow, everything went back to normal, but how to do it without jamming?

I managed it, the bigger the particle value, the more load it puts on the GPU

I think much much better.
I can do everything without snowing, model textures.
And here is my result after 5 days of learning
