They’re also quieter and more robust (due to the lack of moving parts inside) than classic harddrive stacks, but that is more of a bonus in most cases.ĭepending on how much data we’re talking about the degree of the problem of course varies, but WoW is a fairly massive game - after all, it contains over a decade and a half of content, with ever-increasing complexity and visual fidelity on data assets over the years.įor that reason SSDs have for a while already been listed as officially recommended for the game, and while they are indeed not yet considered to be the “minimum” ( that’d currently be a 7200RPM regular harddrive) quite a few other games have already gone that route and it would be fairly safe to say that the industry as a whole is trending towards that too (outside cloud-based gaming, which is an entirely different jar of pickles). SSDs do actually solve mostly one kind of problem - if the amount of time it takes to move data from the harddrive to memory is too high they can reduce that to more palatable levels.
