SSD or HDD?

Rhodes · 03-08-22, 12:25 PM

I'm in the middle of getting a new PC and it will bring a SSD and a HDD (both 1TB). The SSD will have the OS and programs, etc.
The OS will be Windows 10 pro and my dough is were should I install SH3 and 4 (I ask only here, for not having a double thread).

I know the "no program files" folder rule.

The SSD drive is very fast 4400 mbps read 4000 mbps write ther are faster ones but compaed to a Hd its very goodimprovemen
If you have a 8Gig USB stick if not get one so you can make a windows media creation tool so if your pc hd gets corupted you reinstall windows

I have a SAMSUNG SSD 860 EVO and the loading times are practically the same compared to an HDD (Seagate 7200 rpm).

Yeah. Was going to say that you probably won't notice any difference.
