Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days agoKeep it in the 4tb disk? Or is it all games? You can keep videos or music on the HDD, it’s the resource heavy games that benefit the most from the SSD. They suggested getting a 1tb add ON TOP OF the HDD, you are assuming it’s to replace it. The HDD doesn’t disappear from existence when buying a SSD and I don’t believe their motherboard doesn’t have slots for another drive. I have a nvme risk in the graphic card slot via an after and it’s honestly as fast as an actual m2 slot.
This comment chain is super weird.

I’m not OP to be fair, but I think they said all games. I do believe I’ve conflated two chains, there’s another post about lack of physical space up there somewhere. MITX motherboard on an SFF build I can definitely see it. I’m not sure sacrificing graphics card is going to be better on a gaming PC.

If they don’t have two graphic card slots ofc you wouldn’t use that, I mentioned it because my mono has two. I’d be surprised if their PC only had two SATA/m2 slots overall though. If they do, they sadly are hardware bound, maybe they could buy a USB to m2 adapter (like a big USB case) and use the M2 like an external hard drive, but that only works well if the USB slot is 3.1 or 3.2, I don’t remember which.
All I’m saying is that getting a add for games like PoE, helldivers and keeping Stardiew valley on the HDD, or just keeping the current active games on the SSD (I did this since forever when I had a 500gb SSD and a 4tb drive bought 8 years ago) should improve their experience a lot.
