Even at 100gb, that is still 15 games on a 2tb drive. Do you play that many games at once? I am sure my gaming is different as I like a lot of single player RPG, but usually I have a max of 5 games running in my rotation. It's more than likely 2-3.

If you take advantage of Epic from the beginning you would have about 220+ Games to play. It doesn't matter what you are currently playing sometimes you want to get back into a Game and don't let me talk about Humble Choice. The industry needs to improve we are at QLC but still handicapped to 4 TB Maximums. We need to be more vocal in resistance to that.
Wait, do you seriously have 18+ TB of SSD storage on one single machine? What the hell do you do with it?
If he does, sounds like he uses it … for storage. ;p

Cell stacking suffers from diminishing returns. Take a hypothetical 2TB SLC drive and replace the flash with MLC, you get a 4TB drive. Easy win. Take a hypothetical 2TB MLC drive and replace the flash with TLC, you get a 3TB drive. Still a win. Take another hypothetical 2TB TLC drive and replace the flash with QLC, you get a 2.66TB drive. Another win, but rather marginal now. QLC (and anything beyond) will not enable easy capacity gains. It will however enable guaranteed loss of endurance and higher latencies (mind you, still perfectly fine for a storage volume).

Stand your ground. PCIe 5.0 would have made that an easy 2-4% boost, don't settle for anything less
