>Boohoo my games will take 10 seconds longer to loadGrow up
>>731415729I am a hardcore HDD user. I like high storage capacity to store all my movies and have all my games installed. Loading times are for sipping beer.
>>731415729t. still melts down over Starfield loading screens on his HDD
SSD for boot. HDD for storage. Simple as.
>>731415817Based. Want to get a 8TB HDD before they inevitably shoot up in price due to AI.

>>731415729>game has over 9000 loading screens
>>731415974oooooh ai makes me so hopping mad
>Grow upI did. Now I have a job and can afford an SSD.
i'm not poor
>>731415729Before all parts got expensive, if you were so fucking poor that you couldn't afford a $75 1TB SSD you just need to find a new hobby.
>>731416272stop being a hoarder
>>731416272call me crazy but 8tb should be enough for anyone
>>731415974They might increase in price but nowhere near the level of ram or ssds. Maybe 5-10% higher than they should be.
>>731415729The last time I had spinning rust in my PC was like 10 years ago.
>>731416330>>731416371no. its improtant to me to have everything i need available locally to me. i have a huge jellyfin library, tons of audiobooks and boosk, a shitload of steam and even my own knock of steam. when my internet goes out or shit is not available anymore i still have access to everything. i dont like how all the big corpos are making it harder for me to be independant from them.
>>731416371>call me crazy but 8tb should be enough for anyoneFor a single PC sure. Not for servers and media storage. Its pitiful.
>>731415729You can't properly play Spider Man on an HDD. It will stutter like shit.
if(pc.ssd = null) { loading.addDelayInSeconds(randint(120,360));}Nothing personnel, kid.>t. game developer taking bribes from hardware manufacturers to force you to consooom
Games don't need an SSD, but Indian projects like Cyberpunk 2077 require an SSD.
>>731415729Wait until you realize load screens aren't the only issue, Poory McPoorensteinowitzkopf.
>>731416607sounds like a mediocre game
>>731416404>>731415974nigga they increased by like 60% in the past montht. got a 16TB drive for like $300 before it shot up to $500
>>731416371you need atleast 10TB for all the good movies made since 1960, and probably another 20TB for all your animes and TV shows
>>731416302bloody benchod bitch
>>731415817>>731415974>bought 15TB external HDD last summerThe older I get the more I find digital hoarding justified. I've grown tired of my favourite contents being deleted from the web.
>>731417084mine fits on 7tb right now
>>731415729>10 secondsI remember I tried to play Total War Warhammer 1 with an HDD and it took like three minutes to load a battle map shit was unbearable.
>>731415729>>731415974So first the PC master race insists on using 1080p, now it wants to use HDD? Why are gamers these days banned from having things even the Nintendo Switch has? What happened to the “master race”?
>>731416698Source/QRD on it being made in India?
>>731417341Retards are always the most vocal ones, rest of us with 4k screens and nvme ssds actually play the games.
>>731417474Imagine playing games when you could use a hoop and a stick in a favela. You're a goy, goy.
>>731417341He is probably some brown third-worlder. Playing games on HDD, especially with a lot of loading screens is poor pleb mode. I only store movies there.
>>731417084Why do I need to do all that when I can just stream them?
>>731415729>>Boohoo my games will take 10 seconds longer to load>Grow up> Makes a strawman argument on 4chan under the guise of being knowledgeable>>>731415729>Grow up
>>731415729HDD is great for extending playtime for short games. It takes me 10 times longer to finish a level while SSD fags get it done in a minute.
>>731415729Poor people are the reason why we don't see separate loading % in games like League, I still trash talk people in Warframe as we have to wait 2/3min for some poorfaggot with a HDD to load, and they always leave after the shit talking, lmao.
can an external USB double platter HDD handle hundreds of thousands of image files?
>>731416272>8tb hdds are $200 nowI tell ya, I've made many mistakes in life, but being a waitfag has been the biggest one by far. I should've stocked up on storage ages ago instead of putting it off.
UNGA BUNGA GRUG STILL USE SPINNING METAL DISK IT DO JOB JUST FINE
>>731416514>even my own knock of steam.You coded yout own client?
Gaming on the cloud I realize is more cost effective than owning this shit anyway. Let the data centers have them.
>>731416934You aren't being fair, considering random read access of HDD is extremely slow (between 50 to 200 IOPS) and open world games today need to load a lot more assets in a shot amount of time - especially when you're going at high speeds.
>>731418417I beat FF7 Rebirth on an HDD
>grow up
>>731417084780 movies is 5.5 TB. This is pretty low bar for being considered 'good'.TV has very few good shows and fewer still since image quality increased so older shows aren't going to be as large. This takes up less space than the movies.Anime is highly compressible due to it's limited colors and long pans over still images so it doesn't take a lot of space either. This should take half as much as tv.100 GB of manga gets you about 240,000 pages or 1200 volumes which is a 25 year collection.All together it's difficult to accumulate 10TB of passive media from the entire works of humanity unless you are archiving garbage.
>>731415903/thread>>731416636Kek, good b8>>731418115I use HDD, you can trash talk as much you want because l always mute everyone lol>>731418316Don't blame yourself, being a waitfag will always be worth it in the end. Don't fall for the consumerism made by corporations.
>>731418316I bought an entirepse grade 8TB for 190€ last year. even WD Blue were around this price. CMR HDDs were never dirt cheap - unless you're talking about SMR discs, which are complete garbage.
>>731417412retard.
>>731418339https://gameyfin.org/i have a gog folder with installers and the web ui picks up metadata and lets you just download games. its also great for lan parties.
>>731418508That's like 7GB/movie. How can you even watch such low quality trash?
>>731415729ur insane how can u stand that noise
>>731418485You don't go around swinging at high speeds in the middle of manhattan... Rebirth is mostly empty with a some hubs here and there.
>>731418601Imagine not having your PC out in the garage.

>>731419705Use crystal disk info
I haven't noticed that much difference sisnce switching. Maybe in modern games.
>>731415729I hate loading screens
>>731415729Some games downright refuse to run off of HDDs anymore because they use SSD speed as a crutch.
>10 seconds longer to load>on top of the 60 seconds waiting for the literally who splashscreens to fade in and fade out>on top of whatever other shit the title screen makes you watchI was hoping to play it today, but I guess I can check back tomorrow around the same time. It might be ready to play then.
>>731415729Maybe you should get off this board and work harder to finally be able to afford SSD, thirdie.
>>731416272jews don't want anyone to have computers anymore, all electronics will just be terminals by 2030.
>>731415729Change to sad bro it's a game changer
>>731419983Not being able to run on HDD is a good filter for bad games desu. Only good game that it filtered out was Baldur's Gate 3 but they optimized it too :)
>Small SSD for OS>Larger SSD for games>Even larger HDD for storageWhat I'll be going with soon. Apparently it's not optimal to have the OS and your games on the same drive?
The access times for data on even a "cheap" SSD are measured in hundredths of a millisecond instead of ms like they are with HDD that's where they really shine. The initial load up being faster is just a small side benefit.
>>731415729Its not the load times its more the fact that games stutter like crazy on HDDs
>>731420364Will the greed of trying to own and centralize all technology pay off for the elite? I guess we'll see.

>>731419148I turned mine off on PC, but it's worthless, people insist to play Warframe on laptops from 2007, so I just play solo instead.
>>731419354I can barely read your post, Ranjesh.
>pay 70 bucks for a 4TB HDD>...>pay 400 bucks for the same thing but an SSD>ok, but why?>UHHHH BECAUSE UHH...IDK IT'S LIKE...FASTER MAYBE?? UHHH IDKYeah I'm sticking with HDD thanks

>>731418057i want to make sex with them, forever.
I went all SSD years ago and I can never go back. My PC is so fucking quiet. It's just a slight hum from the fans. The whirring and clicks of a harddrive bother me too much now. I'm sorry that you guys chose to wait until now to buy a SSD.
>>731415729>steam downloading bottlenecked by write speed>stutters while in gameplay
SSDs are probably the most overrated nothingburger 'upgrade' cooked up by the jews to get the world to CONSOOM. Yeah, go- I mean bro, it's like faster and smaller but three times more expensive because well, because you'll pay for it and be happy. If you own one, I actually pity you because you're just being taken advantage of due to your low IQ. This is only second to graphics cards, since games have no improved at all since 2007. If your game cannot run on my 1080 then it doesn't need to exist unless you have something truly revolutionary to show.
>>731423970I've been using Seagate since the early 90s and have had only one fail. I'm booting my firewall off a 40mb drive from my 386.>>731423991>HDD for gamesRapes you in your path.

>Storage>No advancements whatsoever in tech
>>731424571You understand we invented the internet.>but what about when Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet 20 years after the internet was launched as a DARPA project in California?????
>>731416272Be careful of exo certified drives from seagate.some chinks or similar ran a LOT of them to nearly the point of failure, messed with the onboard statistics to make them seem far less used, and flooded a bunch of reseller markets.
>>731418316the point of being a waitfag is to wait until the right time.not let it pass by.I saw the drives shooting up and grabbed a half dozen 10tb drives, half of them ironwolf, for $100 each.
>>731415729Refunded BG3 because apparently despite my rig being able to run the game flawlessly in all other qualifications, if you don't have an SSD the game will shit itself and refuse to load anything properly. Feel like a dodged a bullet the more things I learn about that clusterfuck.
>>731424571
>>731415729I have both SSD's and HD's, and some games just don't need the boost in loading times. Now, for games like Total War you really want an SSD.
>>731415729is not just the longer loading times but the stutter too. Any games released in the last 5 years become stutter city because it relies on the speed of the SSD to load the assets in interconnected areas. The other day I was watching a playthrough of FF7 Rebirth and the dude had the game installed on a SSD and the stutter was so bad he ended up moving the game to an SSD. Not to mention FF7R has a lot of seamless transitions from cut-scenes straight to gameplay and on HDD it stutters every time.
