Benefit of using HDD : *you can read loading screen tips* :)

[Tailsera]

M.2:Who are you?
SSD:I am you but cheaper

I Love HDD. It Gives Me Time To Go To Bathroom While Loading Games!

🙂

We are finally reaching a point where game enjoyment is damaged by a lack of ssd

Me: buys nvme to load up fast
The other guy in the lobby with 15yo hdd: ur gonna wait 15mins, take it or leave it.

[masterchock]

Still no significant difference between nvme and sata3. Thanks for the test )

[Qoup]

HDD: I need sometime to load the loading screen 😆

30 seconds on CP2077 isn't a tragedy

But the hdd gives me time for a bathroom break.

Instead of M.2 I think you should label it as NVMe SSD vs SATA SSD, because M.2 is a form-factor that comes in SATA also, and the speed differences depend on interface standards, not form factor.

[Yas_Sin]

The short conclusion is, when it comes to only gaming, the tiny difference between M.2 NVMe and 2.5 inch Sata drives doesn't (in most cases) justify the price difference

hdd is healthy


it gives u a break :)

2:20 Why does the M2 time go from 31.601 to 30.650?

[pocpc]

SSD is a must nowadays, but I still use HDD, storage for pictures and videos.

Well atleast you'd be able to go for a quick restroom visit when you have a HDD... or maybe grab a coffee lol man I miss those good o'le days.

[treefiddy]

I prefer the M.2 because there's no extra cables to manage or fiddling with mounting locations. Minimal difference in price these days if you can catch a sale

"I need a heads start because I am kinda slow"

ok so the reason that the regular SSD are just as fast (or like 1 second slower) than the M.2 is because ALL CURRENT games are made to work on HDD so there is not a single game that actually takes advantage of M.2 speeds (or even regular SATA SSD speeds for that matter). I cannot wait until PC games come out and they require you to play them on an M.2 drive only so we can take advantage of the speed but since there are so many read speeds (1gb/s, 2gb/s. 3.4/gb/s, 5gb/s and 7gb/s that I know on the top of my head) chances are the lowest speed will be used instead of the fastest one. I cannot believe this but since the Xbox Series and PS5 use M.2 SSDs this is one of the few times (since literally the PS1) when consoles actually help push PC gamers forward. Back in 1994 when the PS1 came out no PC could actually play 3d polygon games at good resolutions and framerate so dedicated graphics accelerators like the 3dfx voodoo and rendition verite v1000 got forced to be made to compete.

Sata is the best for its price point comparing it with an nvme. Thanks for the video 🔥
