They are speaking from personal experience. Why are you forcing an agenda on them. Have you tried running Fortnite + Windows from a hard drive? Because it sounds like they did something that was pretty close
hehe, true. I’d just buy a used one off ebay. It doesn’t have to be a good drive really as it’s not going to have critical data on it. People don’t want them because the drives are old and could fail, but for this would literally just be windows and an online game so I’d take the risk of the inconvenience of having to replace it in a year. Any data lost can just be re-downloaded onto a new drive. E.g. I found a bunch of second hand SSDs for £30-£40 on a quick search now. Wouldn’t touch them for data storage but for this - why not?
A small drive off if amazon used might be good, easy to exchange. I did that when filling up my server back then. Got a few duds and was easy enough to ask for a swap
Remember when we could get cheap second drives? Those were the days.
a 500gb hard drive is like $30 thats nothing.
I don’t think anyone should be running an OS on a hard drive.
Its slightly slower to first load and you’re only using it to play one game which loads into ram anyway. There is no reason not to.
I think it’s been quite awhile since you’ve used an OS on spinning rust. It’s not a great time.
I have a PC in my house where the SSD has linux and windows is on the harddrive. It only boots for league of legends and its fine.
I’m sure it has no problem running the game from Windows XP days.
The OS, unlike the game, is constantly running. It’s not a slight difference.
A person running in this configuration can often look forward to stuttering, which makes for a wonderful time.
You’re hilariously making out a configuration from a lifetime ago to work nearly as well.
Fortnite and an OS on a hard drive is going to be a very bad time.
What a strange thing to be contrarian aboot. It’s almost like you’re defending storage prices.

What agenda am I pushing?
I’ve been through most stages of computing. I remember being a wee lad with 5.25" floppies.
There isn’t much I haven’t experienced.
What they did was not close. Not even similar. They’re playing a game from 2009 on a HDD. It doesn’t require much.
Storage is expensive. Wasting money on equipment that will leave you disappointed isn’t what most would want.
Spinning rust is fine for most games on a second drive.
