    next they’ll say any ol’ hdd is fine, too.

    (they are not)

    if you ever have to use win11 on a laptop with 4 or 8gb ram and a 2.5in hdd, you’ll be inventing new swear words.

      I mean, as long as you pair it with an optane cache drive it should be fine

      About halfway through the lifecycle for Windows 10, HDD performance became pure garbage and I genuinely do not know how/why they did that. Something about how they were handling indexing or read operations at idle meant pinning the disk at 100% usage almost all the time and the only solve was an SSD. I hate that shit so much.
