September 28, 20205 yr As AnandTech reports, Seagate has confirmed it plans to ship an 18TB hard drive in the first half of 2020 followed by a 20TB drive in the second half of the year. Might be a good option for MSFS 2020 if you want to cache large scenery areas, if the cost isn't prohibitive? Cheers Martin
September 28, 20205 yr I am not sure we know how well MSFS deals with large caches.. what might the performance impact be?? I have a 100 GB cache assigned, but have no idea if that is actually a good thing.. 😉 Bert

September 28, 20205 yr large cache makes msfs unresponsive. I've tried a 512GB cache file on my SSD and I can barely click on and navigate the menus.

Especially when you choose the high quality. I created around 5 regions of all the highest quality and performance slowed down to a crawl that I couldn't even click on anything.
