bdface.OP•6/6/24, 3:26 AM

A mid wd dram-less nvme SSD cost me 50 bucks

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 3:26 AM

And even THAT is light years better than an HDD

Pez•6/6/24, 3:26 AM

even if it's only sata lol

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

Pez•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

Pez•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

google what MTBF means

Pez•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

look at MTBF on hard drives versus solid state storage

halva•6/6/24, 3:28 AM

better for what
like
i didn't care about boot times, i still don't
i bought a 1 TB barracuda because it fit the rest of my budget (30 whole dollars) and i could store whatever junk i needed

halva•6/6/24, 3:28 AM

like that's all

halva•6/6/24, 3:28 AM

bdface.OP•6/6/24, 3:28 AM
