rainer@fullcleared are there really that many people left that pull their games from HDDs? The cost for a 1TB SSD is getting smaller and smaller every year, so I'd imagine its withing most people's reach.
@rainer if this thread is any evidence...

@fullcleared Hm. The post makes an odd point. Why do you need an M.2 drive for mass storage of games when short on cash? Why are we talking about capacities up to 8TB? I have a library of over 100 games installed, many of which are triple A, and haven't even crossed the 3TB line. A normal person will be perfectly able to make do with a 2TB SATA drive, which can be had for just shy of 100 € - just two years ago, prices were closer to 250 €.
@fullcleared maybe I'm underestimating the differences between economies and currency / wealth differences, but still, SSDs have never been as accessible as they are today. I am also certain that you'll be able to theoretically play Starfield from an HDD, but your gameplay experience will suffer from the very long loading times - an issue that has existed for HDD gamers for many years.
