Hehe nice! I haven’t seen that much storage by a normal PC user tbh get any more and you will be able to have your own storage server.
I’d even pay you to backup my important data to your server XD.

Rockall? Quite remote.
I feel by now most people should have an SSD - whether WoW is on it is a different question. Its such a huge upgrade on the OS side at least. They don’t seem too expensive either although that’s obviously relative and we’re not in the best of economic climates right now for everyone.

Sorry. Couldn’t find any real link to the pdf service manual.
Anyway. Disassembing this laptop is pretty straight forward. I’ve tried much worse. If you feel unsafe with such an operation then let a friend with the right knowledge or experience do it.
Usually there is some migration software either with the new ssd or downloaded from the ssd manufacturer’s site. So before you replace your ssd you have to make an exact copy of your system drive to the new drive through usb.
I play on a Laptop which is near impossible to upgrade. I’d probably end up destroying the thing if I attempted to do it anyway.
The price of a SSD is still the same price in your country in Europe?.. Because I’m almost certain your currency would be the equivalent to mine in some form so if we buy the same pc. It will be whatever the ratio is between us
So if they’re selling a SSD cheaper then they were 2 years ago here… the price has to also have fallen for you.
P.s you can have a SSD and HDD or even go for a SHHD which has SSD functionality but slightly slower
Sure it’s not a must but having an SSD is such a QoL improvement. In my last workplace we had PCs with no SSD and they take forever to boot. SSD just loads the OS so much faster, and it’s true for any program you use.
My laptop has a 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD and I honestly don’t need any more HDD space I’ll never fill it up. I’d rather have a larger SSD storage so I could fit more games into it.
I dont like the idea of solving problems at customers’ expences.
I absolutely sure the game can be programmed and assembled in a way that does not require users to buy new hardware to deal with long loading times. Other games have no such problems. Coders must put some better efforts, or replaced.
SSDs initially had a problem where one sector of the drive would wear out quicker than the rest, so even if 90% of the drive was in mint condition, that 10% that was worn out would mean the drive is dead. Now most SSD firmware has “wear leveling”, which basically spreads out the wear and tear through the entire drive evenly. This results in a much longer lifespan, and obviously bigger drive=more space to wear out evenly=more general life.
One thing worth noting about SSDs is that they should never be defragmented. Fragmentation is not an issue on an SSD, and the defragmenting would just move data around, wearing the drive out, even if by a miniscule amount, without doing anything.
I have converted from my currency to euro in this very thread. The cheapest i found was 66euro for a 250gb ssd.
For 84euro you get a 2tb hdd.
For 135euro a 500gb ssd and that is the same price as a 500gb m.2 ssd
M.2 being faster.
All of these prices is taken from 1 store and is the cheapest price.
If they did not use win 10 and your new one uses it the new one will be faster regardless because of how win 10 works.
So that is very important information.
But yes a ssd should be faster then a hdd.
That is why i am noteing that a 500gb m.2 ssd (can be the fastest) cost the same as a 500gb normal ssd.
However if you are limited by price a 4tb harddrive for the same price as a 250gb harddrive. You take the extra space on the harddrive or even lower it to make it far cheaper.
Keep in mind i am Not talking about external harddrives here.
You say your laptop have a 250ssd and a 1tb hdd that makes it likely your laptop coats a lot.
It did at least when it was new. But like I said I prioritized something with SSD rather than having a truckload of HDD storage.
They don’t. They really don’t.
Look at BfA.
Now look at MoP.
Now look at Wrath.
Which was the better game?
An awful lot of the “need” for more hardware is actually the decreasing quality of written software. Inefficient software can slow ANY hardware to a crawl.
oof… o.o
Maybe u should order from somewhere else in EU? I bet its gona be cheaper even with shiping/delivery.
Me too. My HDD died last year so I had to upgrade. A 1TB SSD was £120. Made quite a big difference to my performance, especially loading screens.
My pc is quite old now, I’m on a GTX670 but a simple SSD upgrade probably had a bigger impact on my performance than getting a new gfx card.
This is definitely true to some extent in BFA. 8.1.5 ruined loading times on HDDs. I don’t know exactly what happened, but for me it changed from loading into Broken Shore Dalaran in 20-30 seconds to having 2 minute load times (including the part after the loading screen, while players are still loading).
Obviously WoW now is a heavier game - you have SSAO, complex shadows, animated skyboxes, much higher polycount models, more complex rigs and animations, more detailed and cramped world with zero LOD models, physics, etc, much higher tick rate for the servers, which makes the game take a toll on the CPU, and some optimizations like snapshotting being deleted because they could be abused.
As a game, WoW was at its best during WoTLK. But even WoTLK has received visual updates over time, with SSAO, the new shadows and water shaders improving the game’s graphics overall. So I’d say even Northrend today looks much better than it did when it was released.
Consider deinstalling the whole game if you have not enough space on your ssd. Complete new installs are usually smaller than the game patched over the periods. My original Heroes of the Storm folder was about 20gb big but with a fresh install only 11gb at the time.
(don’t forget to save your addon-folders)
If you have a modern usb on it a external ssd is viable.
Only when it goes unchecked through customs, otherwise they’ll slap on VAT and it’ll be just as expensive as if you bought it in Norway.
Thanks for the heads up!
