    Ah, yeah, I was using hard drive as a catch-all term. My laptop only holds M.2 drives. I’m old, it’s all hard drives to me. =P

      Old curmudgeons unite! I totally knew what you meant.

      Edit: that said, I would add NVMe SSD as the way to go… although I think that is pretty much all you find these days. Are non-nvme m.2 drives a thing?

      I definitely support the hypothesis that calling all storage drives hard drives is an old curmudgeon thing 😅 I’ve been doing computer nerdery for way over 30 years, and a hard drive is a hard drive even if it doesn’t have spinny disks in it

          I think we all swear to ourselves that we won’t grow up to be like those old people who seem to cling to the past.

          Then one day you find yourself going “well it’s a hard drive to me, I don’t care what it should be called”
