SATA: “what is my purpose?”
Me: “you store volatile memory”
SATA: “Oh my God!”
still use a hdd to store movies, tv shows, music, video game clips, ISO files, ROMS and pictures from my phone, hdd’s are still great in 2023 for things besides from operating systems programs or games, and they are cheap too
…good for games too, especially huge-ass ones. mechanical drives are cheap af.
while ssds are faster, difference in loading times and tile pop-in is rarely significant enough… unless you’re playing a heavily modded game (and especially if it’s Minecraft, you need an ssd unless you want to spend 40 minutes on the loading screen)yeah 100%
older games or more simple ones work just fine on hdds, but of course ssds give you better loading times most of the time
