Today at 2:46 PM Zero:
But you would likely want SSDs.
Today at 2:46 PM SirLemonCakes:
What are you primarily using it for? Gaming?
Today at 2:46 PM arcana:
Yup gaming + recording for Gmod
Today at 2:46 PM SirLemonCakes:
I suggest getting an SSD then, and make it your boot drive.
Today at 2:46 PM SirLemonCakes:
If you can swing the cost.
Today at 2:46 PM arcana:
I'll shop around
Today at 2:47 PM SirLemonCakes:
You'll be shocked at how much faster you boot up and load games.
Today at 2:47 PM Zero:
SSDs are generally faster.
Today at 2:48 PM SirLemonCakes:
They also last longer, especially if you're regularly deleting and downloading to the drive
Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
Opposite.
Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
They don't last long

Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
But otherwise NVME SSDs are worth it.
Today at 2:49 PM arcana: (edited)
im not too tech savvy, but can you have multiple SSDs in your system?
Today at 2:50 PM arcana:
or i could just get a bigger SSD
Today at 2:50 PM SirLemonCakes:
Every source I've seen says they do. And anecdotally , I've never had an SSD fail, and I've had a few HDDs fail.
Today at 2:51 PM arcana:
yea from what ive also seen online, SSD's are just better than HDD's
Today at 2:52 PM arcana:

Today at 2:52 PM helix:
