Datastores, the efficient way to use them

Is giving each individual DataStore bad practice or is storing them all in one datastore better?

I personally create multiple DataStores; one for all of the currency values, one for all of the shop data, etc.

If you don’t have that much data to save, I recommend just using one.

I use one data store for bans, another for leaderboards and one for player data in general such as coins, items, etc.

Hope this helped.

I use DataStore2 with multiple “combined data stores” as described here.
Very efficient.

I use one datastores but with multiple scopes. And then a table that contains name of each player’s scope

{
    p_userid = "name=pn_name;saveid=sid_save"
}
