I was a hdd user. And the pros of having it is that while u wait for it to load windows you can live your whole life and come back to it 20 years later

One day everyone will look back on this video and be like “hah, 15 second load time...that’s cute”

[reddblurr]

Thank you M.2 for only being slightly better than SSD and still lowering the prices of all SSD’s 🥰

SSD: loads
M.2 NVME: loads


HDD: look at this cool loading screen

[tommychen]

1:30 HDD: Super fast boi
1:43 SSD/NVME: They got us in the first half not gonna lie

[gamestinger]

So basically HDD is the Internet Explorer of Storage

[GamingWithHybrid]

My loading time : Pee, getting food, starts eating, realise its cold, warm it, come back...still loading

[harshit]

SSD: loads something 20 - 25 secs early then the HDD

Literally everyone: "that's ridiculous I can't make my coffee, play guitar, or go to gym while my game is loading"

Regular ssd has the best value for your buck.

[Scorpwind]

I thought the difference between an M.2 and a classic SSD was gonna be bigger.

[spoofy]

You just sat through a 4 minute video of loading game screens

[ChildSlayer]

People: "Money can't buy time"
Also people: Watch this and this type of videos million times.

[jayjoysam]

Faster loading time? Meh, they are just limiting my time for pee breaks.

EA renders a highly detailed scorpion

SSD : Where?
m.2 : What?
Hdd: It's beautiful!!!

[RedTunaRoll]

I have all 3. Had a huge HDD to store all of my mods since it was the cheapest option at the time, and a small SATA SSD for Windows to be installed on. Got the M.2 a year later since prices had dropped and I still needed more space. Load times on the m.2 are a dream.

[mr.applejuice]

Moral of the video: always set the ssd as the boot drive and for the installation path for your favorite single player games

[nea]

M.2 NVME = OS
M.2 SATA / 2.5" SATA = Games
3.5" HDD = Storage

[dirtywrx]

I've had my hdd for 10 years now. I finally upgraded to ssd. Damn I've been missing out.

[frenzy]

1:32
HDD: i can do it faster!
*a couple of seconds*
ssd and m2 sorry bruh, next time

[thecynicalone]

I was wondering whether I should get a basic SSD or a more expensive NVME M.2 and this video really cleared things up for me. Seeing as the difference is minuscule I can save money. Thanks!
