It's sort of not needed. M.2 for the OS, HDD for extra stuff like steam/epic games.
HDD for games? Enjoy your loading hours!
HDD works for media, allright.
After looking into it, yeah, that's valid. Seems like SSD offers 5x-10x better loading times.
It's no longer just loading times, many modern games just don't work with HDDs at all anymore
No that's not correct, a lot a consumer hardware have SATA port (like old laptop)
Replacing old HDD into SSD SATA to run the OS is the way to go in this case.
So not so useless...
