FairShibe Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Okay, so I just built a PC, it currently have only a SSD. So I obviously couldn't install my Skyrim on another disk. I was just wondering, what issues can it lead to ? Only permission ones ?
Aklaim Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 shorter load times unless you fill the drive but even a old spinner get worse when its full so nothing new on that front
RohZima Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Permissions shouldn't be any different if that is the drive with the OS installed, primary partition or whatever
2dk2c.2 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Everything is identical but the ssd gets older faster, say some. Others point to terabytes written and the 5-year warranty (or so). I think with all my mods, and the NMM having uncompressed versions of those mods, and me changing mods almost nightly, I'd opt for a cheapo huge hard drive, but you can't get people to agree on anything anymore so I'm thinking it probably is not worth worrying about. $50 hard drives That whole permissions thing relates to the folders windows wants to control. so installing on partition2:\skyrim might be better than users\peaches\games\skyrim, but I'm just thinking out loud
Nazzzgul666 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I do agree with the poster above and the strange name. I'd recommend to get something like the first one IF you have a free SATA slot, the important part imho are the 7200 rpm so it's at least reasonable fast. While not reaching SSD spead, for me that was almost always fast enough to be unable to read the hints during loading screens, so... i consider that good enough.
Grey Cloud Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Hard drives of any ilk only load into RAM. They don't load it directly to your screen. A few milliseconds shaved off here and there aren't going to be that noticeable.
