Hard drive sizes are a joke, I want my whole library installed but always out of space and cant play casually like I want to without deleting then reinstalling.

That is nice. I am so glad you spent all that cash on it.

I dunno what to make of this, I feel like I'm being called stupid, in a veiled way. I can't say for sure though, peeps are entitled to their opinions so that's that.

Regardless, what I'd stated was just my main rig, 2nd rig has:
1x 500GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 4x4 (OS)
2x 2TB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 4x4 (Games)
1x 4TB Leven SATA SSD (Games)
1x 1TB Samsung EVO 850 (Games)
1x 4TB WD Black SATA HDD (older games)
1x 2TB Seagate SATA HDD (downloads, music/movie files, etc)

Between my main rig, and this one, I can store a whole bunch of games, though many of the games I'd gotten through the years, I have either lost interest, or have found them not to my liking (mostly impulse buys). I do have a few games that I like immensely installed in both rigs, games like DSR, Metro Exodus, Serious Sam series, UT3, to name the few.

It is not intended as an insult.
It is more a hint that it is possible to save a lot on cash on games storage. I suggest looking into

There are similar types of software out there.
I am just confused as to why so few gamers use it.

NVMe's aren't fast enough. I want my PC to boot in a microsecond.

My SSD laptop boots up cold in 0.7 seconds. Close enough if you ask me.

Laptops tend to boot much faster as those BIOS/UEFI are not nearly as in-depth as on Desktop PCs and Laptops don't test or train your RAM and such either.

Overall, SSDs were never about boot times really. It's about their ability to multi-task; something HDDs simply can't do, or can't do very well, even on the best HDDs out there.

This is what IOPS is on your drive benchmarks; Inputs & Outputs Per Second. The higher this #, the better the drive can multi-task without waiting for previous tasks to complete or waiting for this data to finish moving or copying before it can move or copy other data next in the queue process. HDDs are extremely slow when it comes to this and it's why they are the worst bottleneck in any PC.
