Go downstairs, make a peanut butter sandwich, grab a drink, pet your cat/dog and by the time you come back up the PC is ready.
What’s the rush?

Often my PC is at the log in screen even before my monitor lights up!

Also: people with Ryzen motherboards that have to ‘train’ RAM for 2 minutes every single time they turn on their PCs.

Why didn’t anyone tell me this was a thing before I bought this piece of shit?

In the win 98 days, I would turn it on in the morning and go take my shower while it booted.

Not really familiar with computers. Is HDD really that bad, or is OP exaggerating?

I remember when SDDs started to become affordable. I got myself a 250gig one and had just installed windows and Rust from Steam. I was having a problem in so told the guys I had to reboot and would be on in a second. Restarted and was back again in under 10 seconds (no windows login) and fired up TeamSpeak.
The one guy thought I was talking crap. I had to record a video of the whole thing to prove to him I wasn’t.
Rust still took forever.

Real ones know to boot their HDD PCs up before going to the kitchen for a snack

I have indeed been spoiled by SSDs. I tried booting up an HDD laptop the other day, and I about lost my mind.

My PC waits on me alot of the time. Normally it’s already at the log in screen by the time the monitor comes on.

My pc takes 2 – 3 minutes to boot with an nvme due to AM5 memory training (didnt bother updating bios, maybe they fixed it). I came from AMD Phenom X4 955, Windows 7 and HDD to AM5. I have ultimate patience.

you forgot the sound and vibrations of an HDD. I had one old in my new rig, and it always started vibrating as if my phone would go off from someone calling or a bus drove by

Y’all turn your computers off?

I still remember having to wait 5 minutes for the loading screen every time I’d leave one zone and enter another in EverQuest. Those were the days.

imo HDD is still better than a SSD for other purposes than gaming especially if you wanna buy one with large storage capacity.
never disrespect the old gens.

The only thing about SSDs is that if stuff takes too much to load or windows to boot… It might be almost dead/dying(which happens suddenly… And that’s what I always monitor smart data with crystal disk info)
Otherwise they’re ok… Fast, but idk how safe they’re for the data and everything, that’s why I keep back-ups

Yeah my PC takes like 7 minutes to start up. Haven’t moved windows to the SSD yet.
