You'll be shocked at how much faster you boot up and load games.
Today at 2:47 PM Zero:
SSDs are generally faster.
Today at 2:48 PM SirLemonCakes:
They also last longer, especially if you're regularly deleting and downloading to the drive
Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
Opposite.
Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
They don't last long

this is the ssd i have currently in my system
Today at 2:49 PM Zero:
But otherwise NVME SSDs are worth it.
Today at 2:49 PM arcana: (edited)
im not too tech savvy, but can you have multiple SSDs in your system?
Today at 2:50 PM arcana:
or i could just get a bigger SSD
Today at 2:50 PM SirLemonCakes:
Every source I've seen says they do. And anecdotally , I've never had an SSD fail, and I've had a few HDDs fail.
Today at 2:51 PM arcana:
yea from what ive also seen online, SSD's are just better than HDD's
Today at 2:52 PM arcana:
ahhh okay i just google'd it. seems like it will just depend on my motherboard
Today at 2:52 PM helix:

The biggest flex my PC has is 64 gigs of ram
Today at 3:05 PM SirLemonCakes:
I bought it when it was super cheap
Today at 3:05 PM Zero:
32gb of ram myself
Today at 3:06 PM SirLemonCakes:
Do you ever actually use it all? I never end up even needing 32
Today at 3:07 PM Zero:
I don't think it was ever fuilly used.
Today at 3:07 PM Zero:
Like no program has ever fully used it
Today at 3:08 PM Zero: (edited)
Firefox is generally a browser that uses resources well alongside KDE Plasma 6 on Linux not being a DE that uses a lot.

32 is considered the future proof option nowadays
6 minutes ago Acnologia:
I have 16 and I easily manage to max out my ram usage
5 minutes ago Acnologia:
if you want to be barely safe 24 is a good baseline but it's not a good number in terms of optimizing your ram
4 minutes ago Acnologia:
so it ends up being 32 as the modern safe bet
4 minutes ago Acnologia:
I dread the day I move onto a 32gig system and manage to run it to its limit
