Was a day when storage subsystem needs warranted paying $1,000 for a 1 GB SCSI drive as programs like AutoCAD did a lot of writing to disk. Now, I can disable the SSDs in our office / home and boot of the OS on the SSHDs and no one ever notices. They might if they stared at screen watching a 2 TB backup or copy pasting 500 GB from one drive to another but outside specialized workstation apps and video editing, all systems a bottlenecked by the weakest component. At my desk, that's me ... the puter can do 100s pf things in the time between keystrikes.
But hey, we are all geeks and we goitta have our fun and there is still braggng righits !
I'm a little of both. I have a 900p for the system drive, but I'm pretty happy with a cached HDD (with another optane) for games. I could even use it for a main drive, but don't need to, of course.
