I had to reinstall a few things due to new OS on the SSD....Origin was not cooperating at first and EA support tried their best to help, best solution to avoid a massive fuckabout is just reinstall everything. I cant believe how much faster everything is loading from the SSD! I really thought it was a sales pitch at first, now I'm looking at how much it will be to get a 2 TB SSD..... I'll let you into a secret, it's a lot!! Anyway, some pics of the new set up, on my old desk still , for you to enjoy. P.S. I can't bring myself to remove the plastic film off the glass panel.

Only really useful for boot times. Look into a Western Digital Black drive for storage. You can get the 2TB for around $120 US and the 4TB for less than $200. 2TB is $109 US - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822236624 4TB, 7200RPM 256Mb cache is $180 US - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=234-000G-000W6 I have been running WD Black drives for YEARS. VERY fast drives, and VERY durable. Edited March 19, 2019 by Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I had to return a 2TB model after I think 2 years. It didnt die but failed an extended smart test and rewriting with zeros etc didnt fix it. 2TB models were not available so they sent me back a 3TB. SSD for the OS, programs, and things where you need to read/write a lot of data *really* fast. I have no experience with the M2 drives but that is an option in the future when they become a little more affordable. L!ckALotAPus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
