#WILL ORIGIN DOWNLOAD WHILE PLAYING A GAME INSTALL#
Of course, this is on Steam, where setting up a 2nd install folder is a piece of cake. If it becomes a real issue (I expect not, since WiFi is OK, and wired will only be orders of magnitude better), then I'll start slowly moving things to local storage. To start, I feel I'll be fine with the longer load times, and being able to sink that money into better hardware. I'm going to see how load times are and such there, and decide if I feel the need to spend more money on local SSD or not (the bad thing is, my entire Steam library is over 2TB, so it'll have to be at least 3x1TB SSDs).

To start off, the gaming rig will only have a small SSD for the OS, and a wired connection to the NAS. I'm planning on re-doing my entire home network in the next 12 months, and also building a gaming rig. Of course, changing levels and what not is likely slower, but not too bad. Once there, everything goes just fine though - no issues with gaming. One example I have is the Lego games - they pre-load a huge amount of data, and the game takes about 45 seconds to get into the main menu. A game that takes, say, 10 seconds on a local HDD might take 30-45 over WiFi. My laptop (where I presently seem to play games most often now) is almost always WiFi only.įor most games, the up-front load time is slow. For what it's worth, I have a large part of my Steam library on my Synology NAS.
