Is >left dead forever? I just added 2tb + 500gb m2 nvme cards to my motherboard and I can't imagine ever needing more storage, especially slow shit. If I do I can just use the $5 pcie m2 adapter card I got from Temu and add another old m2
What should I do with my old ssds? I have like 6
Sata SSDs are nice to have around for like NAS and home lab shit.
Grab an old PC, slap that shit in there and you got your own home server
Most people don't need m2 speeds
basedciety collapses
every1 loses their data because everyone is on ssds
it is coming
Society collapses the data on your pc is the least of your concerns
What does this mean for my HDD?
he doesn't have a decades-old porn collection
Fucking zoomers.
Why don't motherboard manufacturers put out mobos that discard all these old technologies like sata? Why spend money and performance stuffing all that extra circuitry on there?
I still got one in my system and a HDD. But they're sort of the last resort drives now. My main gaming drives are now all NVME ssds. 4tb, 2tb and 1tb.
Why don't motherboard
Because they aren't entirely nintendo tier and aren't interested in turning several decades of hardware into e-waste for no reason. They'd be willing to do something similarly stupid, but they're not actively retarded.
I'm talking about mobos entirely tuned for performance in current technologies, with no extra circuitry generating heat or taking CPU cycles or space. It would be a hit with high end gamers, not replace all the other stuff
There's hardly a notable difference between the two. Though I'd put GTA6 and any other hugeass games on the right.
Left is still good in RAID setups.
Although I do enjoy RAID-0 on two 1TB nvmes.
2.5 TB and thinks he'll never need more
Fucking kek.
How do you need more? Modern big ass games only need about 50-100gb. Do you simultaneously download and play 30 of them?
I mean that'd be pretty understandable given how shit modern games are.
I'd imagine have several of them installed all at once to bounce between.
Still, you should just have like 200 old actually good old games installed
Because some people still use those things
t. refuses to buy a mobo with less than 6 sata ports
I at most manage to install 7-8 games before I just reinstall the entire system to clean everything out. Only takes a few minutes to re-download from steam if I need the games again
This sounds like console user behavior
I mean if I played modern games, I could see me having that problem.
The biggest thing I have installed is the KH collection at 70GB.
But, I also have a 4TB harddrive in my PC, so it doesn't take up too much space.
Otherwise I got 153 games installed right now out of a library of 345
porn folder
emulation folder
steam
vr
Do you simultaneously download and play 30 of them?
yes. and have them stored so that i dont need to download them again
Why are M.2s still stuck at 8tb and also are stupidly expensive at that size?
Nonsense, my anime titty pic collections are essential for survival.
have 6 sata ports
have 2 m.2 slots
It's clear which is superior.
M.2 is not an indication of speed or performance
the 2 m.2 slots are the nobility of the motherboard, the 6 sata ports are peasants
he needs moar data for hoarding all of those bluray rips of anime and JAVs and .flacs of anime soundtracks (he won't ever watch or listen to any of it, like every upstanding and proud member of the fine community that Anon Babble is)
SATA is dead yes.
2.5" is not dead, just enterprise only now.
They use U.2 instead of M.2 both are NVME
I use 64gb USB drives for hobby shit. One for website stuff, one for graphic design. Two external backup HDDs for less frequently accessed stuff like old c# projects and crypto wallets
Why would you pay the same price per capacity but 10x slower
Because Australian internet sucks.
If I want to play a different game, I don't want to wait until tomorrow to do it (when I probably don't want to play it)
Yeah, but how many people are picking up SATA Nvme drives?
About the same number of people buying NVME HDDs
You know what, fair.
I'm not completely awake, but you know what I mean, Sata m.2 drives.
Yes it is lmao. The maximum speed of an m2 port is higher than that of a sata port.
I have a 4tb + 1tb nvme and 16 tb of hdd in my pc and I'm at like 85% capacity overall and might change my 1tb to anither 4tb
show me your private.com catalog
HDD>NVME>Sata SSD
I'm talking reliability and lifespan here, I've had multiple sata SSDs fail on me and it's a catastrophic failure that implies loss of data, classic HDDs can and will eventually fail but it's never as bad, there are signs and you can usually recover the data before it goes fubar. I still have my RPG maker games I made almost 20 years ago, had I transferred them to an SSD they would likely be gone. M2 drives are hit or miss but NEVER EVER cheap out on them, Samsung shit is more expensive but it has never failed me, be USB drives, external drives, Sata SSDs, or M2 drives. Corsair, PNY, Kangstone are all dogshit and should be avoided at all cost despite being popular options on Amazon.
Also here's a tip, if you have a sata SSD that's dying but not quite dead, open up your PC case, unplug the sata data cable but leave power, turn on your PC and let it run for 30-1hr, modern drives have a built in self repair feature, if afterwards your drive works you can use it normally, you slightly shortened the lifespan but it's not gonna have an impact unless your drive is very old.
2.5TB
can't imagine ever needing more storage
u wot?
I've had multiple sata SSDs fail on me
You bought some chinese off brand shit or what? My first SSD still working, almost 90k hours online, using it as game capture storage. My system SSD is fine too, almost 70k hours.
Corsair
In 25 years of computers, only Corsair parts have consistently failed me.
I want to get one of those small bitches but I don't want tod eal with the hassle of it all before I switch to win 11 and put the OS on that drive.
yeah, i'm planning to put a 500gb os nvme, a 2tb vidya nvme and a 5tb hdd for all the other shit
i was retarded enough to ignore the talk about unused capacity increasing lifespan so my 120 gb os ssd is at 44% health
I did this and my whole system bluescreened and doesn't boot anymore. FUCK YOU
