I am surprised there are that many non-SSD drives left out there among gamers.

  I still have a few hard drives in my computer for things I don't really care about. Hard drives last for ages and a computer used for most professional work doesn't need much more than 250GB of SSD storage. Using an old hard drive for games has worked well for me for ages, even Cyberpunk ran fine from a hard drive for me. Having to upgrade your system because one game doesn't handle hard drives well sucks. Previously, many games were huge because they repeated assets on disk so that hard drives could load them up faster. With the SSD requirement, this is no longer the case. Logically, the game should be much smaller because of that, but it's still huge. There's an easy solution for all of this, though: just don't buy the game. If the game wasn't built to your liking or your computer can't handle it, you can simply not spend money on it and play something else.

  Well, 10TB 2DWPD SSD drives are not easy to find...

      It’s not that I store only games on my computer, but backups, photography and legacy stuff takes space. Especially, if you’re into computers for ~30 years.
