  • A single Quad layer Bluray could fit the entire game, but not a ton of PC users have an optical drive, much less a Bluray capable one. A microSD card or USB drive might be more viable these days. A 128GB costs less than $10. When you want to stick to DVDs you would need either 27 (DVD-5), 15 (DVD-9) or 8 (DVD-18). Multi-DVD releases are definitely a thing. Star Wars Battlefront comes on 4 discs. I suspect they would opt for a DVD-9 release as this allows you to print artwork on one of the sites and you likely need a few extra discs as you cannot use all of the storage for data. So we talk about a 16-18 disc release. ~22mm (7/8 inch) of DVD goodness.



  • I will just paste my standard procedure when I onboard any new (or used) drive: Everybody has their own skin care HDD check routine. This is mine:

    I first check the SMART status with CrystalDisk, after this a short smart test, full surface check with Macrorit, full h2testw run, CrystalDiskMark, and then I check with CrystalDisk once again if anything besides power on hours did change.

    Will take some days for a large drive but in terms of work hours we talk about less than 5 minutes and it covers pretty much anything without being too excessive.

    Das ist so eine Kleinigkeit, die ich nicht verstehe. Egal ob bei der Klingel oder beim Briefkasten, so viele rotzen das einfach nur hin. Das hübsch zu machen kostet meist nur ein paar Minuten und sieht für jeden Besucher ein Stück netter aus.
