128 GB thumb drives are still very affordable, there's no need for SSDs for gaming.

I hate that they do things very differently and for a full OS this isn't true, but that you are very technically right because Batocera and others.

The trend that puts even more pressure on hardware shortages. Steam and PC have not been an issue for this, but the last 3 console generations all have shit at risk of disappearing. Its so dumb.

AI. Even when its not AI its the new excuse to produce less and charge more. Welcome to unchecked capitalism. I hate it here.

Technically you CAN make fast-loading USB drives work, but only if you get a bunch of them into a RAID array and at that point it's way more expensive per gigabyte than SSDs

Even 3.2 Gen 2 is nowhere near as fast as a NVMe, and Directstorage isn't supported.

These things are not designed for constant use like that. It would die in a year or less.

these never work out for me because I can't resist the urge to fill them with 128gb worth of pictures of dicks and then jam them up my ass

SSD drives shouldn't be used as long term storage either

Entire OS are built to run on them. Used one as a server drive for years. 3 and up is fast enough but its not NVMe for sure or meant for a lot of read/write daily changes.
