In your opinion, what is a thing that lived up to the hype it had or still has?

SSD.
It is way way faster than HDD.
I can't use HDD-only PC anymore.
I had an extra SATA port on the side of my laptop that resembled a CD-ROM drive. Plugged in new SSD, installed win10, and it was so much faster. The original installation is festering until I finally back up all the data, cause I'm a data hoarder apparently. Doesn't help I used the old drive, now D:\ as storage.
