Had a client in Phoenix last month who insisted his old IDE hard drive was 'just as fast' as an SSD for his new gaming PC build.

Old drives have a certain charm, honestly.

My old laptop took five minutes to boot up, it was a whole vibe.

My cousin tried that argument when we built his PC. The load time difference in games like Cyberpunk was honestly painful to watch. How do people still believe that?

Betty's comment about the Cyberpunk load times is too real... I once tried to run a modern game off an old backup drive to save space. I could go make a sandwich, eat it, and wash the plate before the main menu showed up. The denial is strong with some folks. I guess we all cling to weird tech beliefs sometimes though, I used to think more RAM would fix a slow internet connection.
