Hi, pretty lately i have been seeing post of NSZ, but my question is... it really is a smaller format...? when you install it (For example, Zelda BOTW) it has 14gb, the NSZ is 7gb, the switch installs 7gb (The size of the NSZ) or 14gb data? idk if im explaining myself good but... thanks for answering

from what I understand, nsz is only for backups and downloads. the content will still take up the same amount of space as an nsp on the switch.

    ps4/xbox one went from mechanical hard disk to NMVE Xbox series x|s/ps5, it is like we skipped a generation that would use regular ssd
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    its all bout the money, they wanted to keep cost low as possible
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    would it have been cheaper if they used regular ssd
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    now days ssd is cheaper and the standard
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    no, back then max ssd storage size was low, and prices were higher than now
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ssds are getting so cheap it's not worth messing with hdds lol

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    You can get a 8tb ssd for $400 which really isn't that awful
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    5400rpm is actually good for some stuff
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Lower spin rate
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    true
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    But still everyone has internet and files aren't going anywhere anytime and most outages are like a week at best
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    It be good in pc for backup files, with a ssd for OS
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    If you just want big aaa titles a 4tb ssd would be fine
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I get it for people stuck with like one or two things then ye you'd want more storage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I have 2tb external hdd, w 1.36tb full of Switch games. So yea I'm gonna need bigger one soon enough
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Got a 6tb I was going to replace but haven't touched it in a while
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    The decks like meth once you try it you don't know how to do other things
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I may just buy another NAS setup with 3 drive bays, so I can keep this hdd, and just add another or 2
