I keep saying 1TB and you keep responding to me with 4TB and then telling me I need to learn to read. You really are TheWeirdestCunt. Goodbye.
So Artyom, I'm going to need you to look at these words carefully ok? You did suggest buying a 1tb SSD, I understand that. But you need to realise that when someone needs to store 4tb worth of stuff it won't fit in a 1tb drive.
Maybe it would be easier if we work this out with apples? If I'm really really hungry and I want to eat 4 apples, and a shop is selling apples for 30p each, or 4 for £1. It would be cheaper to buy a single apple, but it wouldn't fill me up. If I buy 4 single apples it's going to cost me £1.20, which is more than buying a pack of 4. Did that help you?
What do you suggest they do with the other 3TB of data?
Keep it in the 4tb disk? Or is it all games? You can keep videos or music on the HDD, it's the resource heavy games that benefit the most from the SSD. They suggested getting a 1tb add ON TOP OF the HDD, you are assuming it's to replace it. The HDD doesn't disappear from existence when buying a SSD and I don't believe their motherboard doesn't have slots for another drive. I have a nvme risk in the graphic card slot via an after and it's honestly as fast as an actual m2 slot.
This comment chain is super weird.
I'm not OP to be fair, but I think they said all games. I do believe I've conflated two chains, there's another post about lack of physical space up there somewhere. MITX motherboard on an SFF build I can definitely see it. I'm not sure sacrificing graphics card is going to be better on a gaming PC.
If they don't have two graphic card slots ofc you wouldn't use that, I mentioned it because my mono has two. I'd be surprised if their PC only had two SATA/m2 slots overall though. If they do, they sadly are hardware bound, maybe they could buy a USB to m2 adapter (like a big USB case) and use the M2 like an external hard drive, but that only works well if the USB slot is 3.1 or 3.2, I don't remember which.
All I'm saying is that getting a add for games like PoE, helldivers and keeping Stardiew valley on the HDD, or just keeping the current active games on the SSD (I did this since forever when I had a 500gb SSD and a 4tb drive bought 8 years ago) should improve their experience a lot.
Keep using your alt accounts to harass me after I blocked you. I'll keep blocking them.
What are you on about?
