This week I will be talking about my hard drive upgrade and how it has improved my experience. I had the hard drive installed for a couple of months, and I have decided to take advantage of the space. Initially, I was very cautious about purchasing the drive. It was by no means cheap, and it costed around $70 dollars (if my memory is correct). By the time I considered by it Kalen had already purchased the drive, which may have influenced my decision somewhat.
At the time, I was primarily thinking about how it would affect my Skyrim and Fallout 4 experiences. Before the storage upgrade, the number of mods I could have on both games were limited due to storage problems. In particular, I was eyeing a Skyrim mod called “Bruma”. To explain why I really wanted “Bruma”, I need to talk about how the Elderscroll games work. Bethesda, the developer of the Elderscroll games, likes to create an Elderscroll game per province in the in-game continent. The continent called Tamriel has 9 provinces, Skyrim being one of them. The mod “Bruma” adds part of another province into Skyrim. Basically what I’m trying to say is, “Bruma” requires a lot of space because it literally adding DLC to Skyrim.
When I finally decided to purchase the drive, I had to wait a bit. When the drive did arrive, I needed to wait for the weekend to install it. The installation wasn’t as easy as I had thought. At first, I thought we would just need to put the drive in. However, I was wrong when I learned we had to switch the drive’s data around. The process was slightly stressful, however since Kalen and I had daddy’s help things went pretty smoothly.
After the installation, I didn’t feel the effects of the new storage immediately, that is why I’m doing this blog know. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I can now enjoy the new space the drive has granted me. In the end, I may end up upgrading my PC over time, and I feel getting the new drive is just the first step.
