NVMEs are cheap af nowadays. You can get a 1tb from Best Buy or Microcenter for like $40.

I'm finally thinking of getting one, I'm just not sure if it's worth the time to transfer a bunch of stuff from my old 1TB plug-in SSD.

Most all NVME come with a data migration software. If you are worried about complexity I would recommend a Samsung as their software is the best and very easy to use.

Oh that's good. That's damn good.

SATA: "what is my purpose?"

Me: "you store volatile memory"

SATA: "Oh my God!"

High quality meme, this one

still use a hdd to store movies, tv shows, music, video game clips, ISO files, ROMS and pictures from my phone, hdd's are still great in 2023 for things besides from operating systems programs or games, and they are cheap too

even really old drives can be used as removable storage if you have a sata dock

...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)

[–] SharpMaxwell@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

Thanks for moving the content from Reddit. I did the same as well, for the important content. :)

No problem! I did what I could to protest. They dared to take down my Infinity. Not going back. I hope Lemmy will grow steadily. This is kinda like Fibonacci Sequence, it will go boom at one point (hopefully). :)
