    Everyone recommends an ssd for everything since around 2010, what is the news here? If you don’t have an ssd you already lost years waiting for your computer

      Imagine loading a modern game from spinning rust. And then loading textures. And the next area to render. And its textures. And… I’m getting tired of waiting just from imagining it.

        To be honest, if it’s not a demanding game I don’t mind installing it on my HDD since it has way more memory than my SSD.

          It depends on the game but I’m surprised how well some games run.
          Steam Deck got me playing games on MicroSD which is really where you feel the pain.
