Cooler didn’t arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I’d have stayed up all night. 😆

As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I’m going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.

It would be HD if it was hard drive.

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk[a] is an electro-mechanical data storage device

Don’t even try, that guy clearly gets off on being pedantic and hates to be wrong instead of trying to learn something new. Which is funny cause he didnt even know what HDD is short for.

Why are you starting a new thread. Join the existing or something instead. This has been addressed.

Of course I know what HDD means. I work in IT. I just shorted it because it’s easier to understand, write, and say. I have already proved multiple times with multiple dictionaries that “Hard drive” is the same as “Hard disk drive”.

Either way it doesn’t matter, the point was that you shouldn’t call SSDs HDDs.
