GamaBurst Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Hello Guys, After a couple of days of thinking, i decided to make my game setup portable. I decided to put my Lunchbox Bigbox setup and collection directly on a portable drive. I have about 600gb of games, so i was thinking to buy a 1TB SSD and a USB 3.0 2.5" HDD Enclosure. But i find the 1TB SSD a bit expanssive. To run games like PS2 games (biggest rom i have in my collection) can i use a normal 5400 SATA III 2.5" HDD and have a decent performance while browsing trought games and a decent loading time, or you think SSD is realy THE definitive choice i must do to have a decent game experience? Thanks again for your advices and help ! Edited December 2, 2017 by alexandreleblanc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRX1138 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I hope someone has an answer for you. I have a 250GB M.2 SSD and lots of hdd's. I need to know what should be on the SSD. I can't afford larger SSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I believe it's been determined that type of hard drive (SSD vs HDD) has little to no impact on Launchbox performance itself. You may run into load time issues though with larger games such as PS2 due to the USB transfer speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamaBurst Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thank you, that anwsers my question. I will go with a normal 2.5" 2tb HDD in a USB 3.0 enclosure and have enough data space at a more decent price than a 2tb SSD Alexandre LeBlanc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
