SSDs are so fast. You need one at least for your boot drive. I use my 4tb hdd for gaming though. You don't really need an ssd for gaming, but you really do need one for everything else. They are so unbelievably fast with the bootup and loading of programs. You can get 500gb for like $250. Running a monster rig on just a hdd is kinda blasphemy. You'll want at least 256gb ssd (I think you can get one for like $125)

But no, the ps4 and xb1 don't use ssds

i gotta disagree with you on that one Cigg...i run my games off of my SSD and they load so much faster.
and i'm not just talking about booting up the game, i'm also talking about the time it takes when games load a new level.
it really is night and day.

To be honest I only tried it out in a few games. I should probably take advantage of my 500gb ssd though. I just like to have everything installed and I need my 4tb for that.

I might put a few new games on it and see what's up, but I typically don't mind waiting 10-15 seconds for a new level to load.

Just put your frequently played games on the SSD breh and everything else on the :flabbynsick: mechanical.

You won't regret it.

sounds like it requires 4 threads tho
We'll see about that, I just look at the system requirements to some of those games with a grain of salt. Hell, Skyrim runs on a damn kabini processor (although only at about 30-40fps)
