Yeah I know xD As I said, it just a dummy drive, because I didn’t want to let them collect dust on my dead laptop, so it’s just game installs. And I’ve been using them like that for 3 years. I was just wondering about the tech behind it, more than trying to “save them”. And for the interface, it’s actually the same speed as what I had on my laptop back in the days, it’s 2013-2014-ish drives, so I’m not loosing much about speed.
But my concern is more about the durability. They have been running for 7 years (at least the 840) on my laptop as my primary drive. So Windows wrote/deleted a lot of stuff and now for 3 years on the RAID controller, so without any optimizations nor TRIM whatsoever, but as a side drive only for some games, that’s all.
