Does depend on your location to an extent yeah

Pez•6/6/24, 3:24 AM

doesn't matter if it's hdd or ssd

Pez•6/6/24, 3:24 AM

Pez•6/6/24, 3:24 AM

economy of scale took over for SSDs a long time ago

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:25 AM

Pez•6/6/24, 3:26 AM

bdface.•6/6/24, 3:26 AM

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

bdface.•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.•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

It was nvme

Pez•6/6/24, 3:27 AM

m.2 sata is perfectly valid for cheap drives

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

halvaOP•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

halvaOP•6/6/24, 3:28 AM

matt_schwartz•6/6/24, 3:28 AM

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/6/24, 3:29 AM

Geechan•6/6/24, 3:30 AM

diazdiaz•6/6/24, 3:30 AM

Sorry I’m more confused now lol. So I’m trying to just use one internal 2tb ssd to dual boot windows and bazzite. I want to be able to play games that I have installed internally while I’ve booted into either windows or bazzite. I want to also use windows for productivity and photo editing. In this case do I partition the drive in half essentially? If I do, where do I keep the data for the games and which os do I use to install them?

my laptop came with one in 2015 and i just never bothered to replace it and the desktop i built in
