Why have a separate HDD just for roms media porn etc hoarding.

You also could have bean not retarded and bought some extra SSDs when the writing was on the wall that the prices will skyrocket like i did. (C and D are the same SSD just partitions.)
SSDs ware not that expansive before the price hikes. I got like an extra 2TB one for 160$.

If you think prices are high now wait until you see what an inflationary oil shock large enough to cause a recession looks like.

The way the oil market stabilizes is through "demand destruction" which in practical terms means the cost of goods must rise high enough where they become unaffordable.
Things are about to get very ugly.

Same around the tail end of November. Sad about having to upgrade halfway into the RAM price hike, but I knew NVME drives were only a matter of time. Everything I got doubled in price. RAM two weeks later and SSDs about a month and a half after. The 9100 pro 4tb I got went to $900 from about $340. And checking Microcenter prices it's on discount from like $1400 so that's where I'm assuming they're predicting this shit is going.

Don't know, built my 9800x3d first month into its release. I always got shit on for having rolling upgrades, glad I did it. I'd hate to build right now in this fucked up climate. Im sure prices will go do eventually but I dont think its going to happen for years to come. Think 2028 to 2030 when this shit is over with. Also dont believe the bullshit. They are purposely raising prices because they can and people will pay for it.

blame Sam Altman.
OpenAI's deals that they made to buy up all the "compute" for the next 3 years using money they didn't even have yet is the source of all the problems.
All of this falls on Sam Altman, who's bright idea is to spend like crazy chasing AGI, and then ask it for how to make a return on the hundreds of billions of dollars he would have spent by then.
... all while never making a profit.
But people still throw money at his company.
Though some are starting to pull out thankfully, the cracks are showing.
when his company totally fails and he realizes he fucked over a lot of people with nothing to show for it I hope he has the decency to just commit suicide rather than scam more people.

If you read the stuff Sam Altman writes, you'll see there's a strong religious element to all this shit.
These guys imagine they're creating technology that will allow conscious entities to live in virtual universes. That makes them "gods".
Sam Altman writes a lot of things as if he were a messiah. He's already said that OpenAI's technology will allow the whole world to become rich, because things will start costing just pennies since AI will do everything for us. He frequently uses terms like "god technology," or other things.
These guys are insane.

That's what happens when you rely on getting everything necessary on the fly when it's needed instead of loading everything into memory at once.
The benefits is lower memory usage and faster load times with the drawback of needing an expensive pcie 4 ssd to make the game playable.
>>
>>735949706
For 200$ you could've gotten a 4tb ssd instead of a 1tb one, so you could have quadruple the storage for the same amount of money.
>>
>>735968317
yeah well, devs just assume everyone has huge SSD's or only play one game at a time.
I don't see any reason to require an SSD but devs assume you do so they don't optimize games to run off a normal platter anymore.
