I remember when SSDs were still new, trying to install one on an older system and in the process the system needing to know the “number of sectors on the disk” which… SSDs don’t have sectors. It was a confusing thing to get through at the time, but I recall figuring it out.
And you had to get the partition aligned (?) when you formatted it. I had a 128GB OCZ Agility I paid like $380 for. It was amazing loading in way before everyone in games, I remember always being first in my WoW clan raids. Left 4 Dead 2 also ripped on that SSD. It died within a year and the RMA replacement died within year as well. RIP
You need to spend more time with hardcore tech nerds 😝
You’re right, mostly people don’t call them that, but they do qualify and all the low level systems call them disks
