Its hard to tell because it’s a whole new computer, but compared to my old one with a single 7.2K drive, it feels pretty amazing.
First LAN game I tried was Sins Solar Empire, with my old and new computers side by side.
At first I though the link failed the old computer took so long to load, but no, I’m just spoiled now.
