dusky plank don't understand the difference 🤷 what game cares if it's on hdd or flash?

He's talking about creating a directory junction. The game files are physically on an SSD, but thanks to a directory junction, all files are still accessible from the original path on the HDD.

#

This allows you to move applications around without all the paths breaking

dusky plank Apr 9, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

nah, he clearly wants speed

subtle pasture Apr 9, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

Yes... that will speed up the application

#

because it's physically on an SSD now

dusky plank Apr 9, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

what you are describing sounds like a symlink

subtle pasture Apr 9, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

symlinks are OS/API level, directory junctions are file-system level

#

a junction point is 100% transparent to the OS and application

#

It's literally an additional pointer in the file system itself

subtle pasture Apr 9, 2021, 9:21 PM

The performance is far more consistent, and the margin for error is smaller

late gate Apr 9, 2021, 9:22 PM

normally most games would be on the nvme anyways

The 2.7 is supposedly rock solid reliability wise if you swap from twin turbo to a PES G3

I knew a guy with a 2.7, but he had the allroad with air suspension, cost him €7000 to replace the air coshins

The engine was great though

If I could choose a new off the belt car the Audi V8 with the 3.6 or 4.2 would be a yes please

If it's air ride and there are air leaks or malfunction most of other systems will not work like ride height control and driver assist systems.

Heres the thing. We can fly planes, that weigh more than 4000lbs without issue. But a 4000lbs car is too much. Sounds like a conspairicity
