[QUOTE="PPSainity, post: 3295898, member: 182123"] On the issue of the dropped drive, the drive should be able to mark and/or remap the bad sectors that were damaged from the drop. A problem to be aware of is that not all bad sectors will immediately be known to the drive until it encounters them, and some sectors that have been damaged may only be determined as bad after some further use which might allow for data loss. I recommend stress testing the drive then reformatting it. This will ensure that all bad sectors, even those on the verge of being bad, will be detected and therefore not used. A good utility that I have found to work well for this is [url=http://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm]SpinRite[/url]. One last thing to add, I can not stress the need to backup your games and data in general enough to everyone. But of course in this case we all own the retail game media which serves as a backup, right [img]http://gbatemp.net/vanilla/emoticons/wink.gif[/img] -[]D [/QUOTE]

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time.
