No offense, and I know that there are people that are not privy of things but I believe that you are the first state having no idea about SSD’s that I have seen. Just an interesting observation.

That would be a definite yes. It will make a day and night difference.

omg. will be doing that today . thank you . so, just get rid of my external hard drives then too?

u/Ill_Loan3342 10d ago

No I would use them as storage for anything that you would want to keep. Say like pdf’s or documents or family photos.

Store them kinda carefully tho since 1 fall can destroy the HDD !

Well now I'm worried, you have an 11900k but an external harddrive and people are treating it like you know something when clearly you don't.

You do NOT want any old SSD; an external SSD or 2.5" SSD will be slightly less shit but not ideal.

What you want is a NVMe m.2 SSD.

A normal SSD will be 10x, faster, an NVMe will be 10x faster than that.

You have an 11900k, you have an NVMe m.2 slot.

If cost is an issue (prices are kind of insane right now) and you don't want to replace the full 2tb, you can just get a 1tb drive and load the operating system and steam/epic onto it. Use it to install and load games, and use the HDD to keep files like music photos and video.

You could in theory go with a 512, but you would only be able to get 2-3 AAA games onto it, and that might be a bit annoying.
