Ah, yeah, I was using hard drive as a catch-all term. My laptop only holds M.2 drives. I’m old, it’s all hard drives to me. =P
Old curmudgeons unite! I totally knew what you meant.
Edit: that said, I would add NVMe SSD as the way to go… although I think that is pretty much all you find these days. Are non-nvme m.2 drives a thing?
Yeah you can get SATA m.2 drives.
I definitely support the hypothesis that calling all storage drives hard drives is an old curmudgeon thing 😅 I've been doing computer nerdery for way over 30 years, and a hard drive is a hard drive even if it doesn't have spinny disks in it
I don't know when I became my mother. It happened so gradually I barely even noticed.
I think we all swear to ourselves that we won't grow up to be like those old people who seem to cling to the past.
Then one day you find yourself going "well it's a hard drive to me, I don't care what it should be called"
SSD's are hard!
A 1tb Steam Deck-sized NVMe drive is about 120 bucks right now. Not cheap. But not insanely prices either.
2280-sized SSDs are significantly cheaper than 2230-sized ones.
They are, by a large margain.
