My girlfriend has a gaming laptop (or just a laptop that she uses for gaming) and has little space for all the games she wants to play, I’m thinking buying a seagate might work right? But I’ve been told that it will be really slow with loading games. To my knowledge laptops take a different type of hard drive/ storage than a PC or a console so what do you guys suggest that I buy that’s good quality and that’s made specifically for a laptop and that will have good load times on games? Thank you
So there are a few ways you could approach this situation. If you could find out the model number of the machine, it would be helpful to find the best solution. The best solution would be to upgrade the internal storage. By replacing or Adding a higher capacity SSD you’d have more space available and you avoid lugging around an external drive. A second option would be to get an external SSD with a USB-C connector. USB-C Gen 1 or Gen 2 can achieve decent speeds for loading, especially if it is an NVMe SSD. The thrid option would be to add an external SSD with a traditional USB-A 3.0 port which has the lowest bandwidth of the options mentioned and is capped somewhere around 100 -150 MB/s with is much slower compared to an internal SSD.
