Games would boot faster and levels would load faster stored on an SSD. This is why modern consoles use them. GTA IV and Id Tech Engine 5 (Rage 1) had some issues with streaming textures and pop-in a few years back. Wouldn't surprise me if newer open world games need an SSD to perform well.

So why is a Raspberry Pi $250?

It's not a storage drive

Cool. I'm hoping that has overflow to hard drive because most things I build don't require SSD. But if at the consumer level everyone buys themselves a nice SSD or at the small business level, hopefully some practically free HD shows up on Ebay. Then I can hit my goal of 500TB on the cheap.

As Linus is constantly reminding us, you can get a free SSD with cue-pon at Microcenter

I never had it. You'll have to look for a Linus Tech Tips video and ffwd to the advertisement portion. I get links to those a lot from various sites, and every one I've seen recently has been sponsored by Microcenter and had the ad. Or find it some other way.

Ooh, I should buy some more! I'll always manage to find a use for some more space.

Drive space is a peculiar thing. As soon as I install a new drive, it's instantly filled to 80%, where it'll live most of it's life.
