Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev
87Six@lemmy.zip 6 days agoSSD’s are at best like… 3 times the cost of an HDD (and in that case you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel finding the worst SSD’s known to man)… At worst they are like 5-6 times more expensive. Speaking in absolutes is irrelevant, the relative costs are the ones that matter. Different regions have even higher prices, too.

A 1TB HDD goes for $40-80, depending on how fancy you wanna get. That’s like maybe $20 more. Not that any of that is relevant since you can’t sell back your HDD so $60 is $60. It’s not a lot of money for a massive increase in performance.
