Reply to comment by theonlyone38 in Would a HDD be beneficial for storing games. Would booting games from a HDD only use my processor? Read desc for more by ironshadowy

Well i had a surface. After the drive died (first BSODS, then no detection in the first place) i searched online and it seems that its a common fault for the ssd to die that quick. It was only 2 years

Again, that is just poor quality not anything to do with read writes.

Hmm, so the ssd line up is just bad?

After further inspection though of my dead pc, the mother board straight up refused to read any jsjsnndjdndnjdjdndjxunejsudnssd. So even so, would my motherboard be at risk still if i run from a HDD. Sorry if my questions sound stupid.

Now that you do mention it, after i purchased a new motherboard, i might look into opening my computer up again and replacing the ssd with my previous old one and see if it was actually working fine

Picking a good brand is important, especially since some brands have been caught lying about their speeds and swapping out memory types without telling anyone.
