...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
