I was thinking about how practical it would be to collect every game I own—GOG, Uplay, Steam, Origins, etc.—totaling over 140 titles. For clear reasons, you’d only want to play a short session of a title like Serious Sam, and you could keep all your progress saved and backed up at once. Has anyone tried this? Of course, a fast HDD would be ideal since many games are large and include updates. Am I misunderstanding? What can you expect?

Usually constrained by the hard disk read rate – around 40 to 50 megabytes each second.

your HDD write speed should be between 80-125 MB/s when copying strait, ofc tons of tiny files really trip mechanical hdds up. I don't know, I don't see a reason to install all games at once. I have 100Mb/s internet, halfway decent, and I have no complains reinstalling games. In fact, I almost exclusively use my SSDs for games and whatnot on my gaming pc.

I currently use an SSD since I seldom play more than 2-4 games simultaneously. The HDD I have is... not ideal.

It seems this topic has been ongoing for several years. The last upload was under the download limit—was it the beginning of ADSL? It stayed consistent around 20 Mbps until gigabit speeds now.

I didn't remember the download speeds or upload times before. Regarding the topic, I'm wondering if with many installed games, updates might still be delayed even after patches are released.
