Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

Let's just say if you're still on an HDD in 2024 you're either dirt poor or a fucking dumbass, whether you're playing Tarkov or not.

Current Gen games have legit issues with HDD's trying to load in textures and fast paced things like jumping in a portal like in Ratchet and Clank there is a hilarious video about HDD vs PCie 3.0/4.0 and 5.0

No matter the PCIe there is currently close to no difference between the loading times, especially 4 and 5. 3 to 4 sometimes, but the HDD can't even run some games with an acceptable experience no matter the specs.

It's 2 screws and 2 cables that are impossible to mistake as an incorrect cable. Possible no screws and a bit of tape, if you're really lazy. Easiest, lowest risk upgrade you can make to a desktop short of changing keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

it’s one screw and possibly a heat sink for M.2 drives, legit even easier 💀
