leafer Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Just curious if we even want to use them anymore since SSDs have become affordable and them being much faster? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
agrasyuk Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 only as storage drive for me. system is on old Intel 510, simulators including DCS are on M4. well actually mechanical is for steam too - that data lives on raptor HDD Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
