Old harddrive Running OS

[DragonsRift]

i have my old hard drive running my OS will it slow down games or will the games be ok?(the drive is 7-8 years old) 7200rpm

how old?

If the drive speed is 7200rpm it should be ok, but if you're running windows 10 that will drive you insane unless you have some insane amounts of patience... (like me)

 

Also define old?

technically it can hurt the load times and in game performance when it goes looking for assets from the drive. a cheapo ssd will usually out perform a 10k hard drive.

*oof*

 

yeah it will run, but your performance will drop like a dead bird. Had a notebook HDD from 2007-9 in my laptop. Worst 3 months of my life.
