Show me where blizz pointed out that those partnerships were a requirement. Otherwise, its pointless because people have a what % chance to buy them?
There are no partnerships with storage manufacturers that I saw so who even cares.

Thereâs lots of âabsolutesâ that are either arbitrary or influenced by secondary gain.
Medication expiration dates, food expiration dates, etc. etc.
I donât think WoW is being disingenuous by requiring an SSD, because truly I do not wish playing on a HDD upon anyone.
It is quite possible future patch textures/assets are much larger and would incur enough of a performance impact on a HDD to warrant saying it negatively affects game play experience.
You really are claiming that because doctors recommend a tetanus shot every 10 years, that all doctors must be in partnerships with a specific tetanus manufacturing a small portion of total shots to get you all vaccinated for profitâŚTin. Foil. Hat.
you donât have to open the case for that though.
You gotta upgrade at some point, that being said the game will still run on a HDD just dont expect good load times.
You could get an external.
USB3 theoretically has enough bandwidth to nearly equal SATA 6GBPS, and most SATA SSDs donât fully saturate the SATA interface anyway.
Medication expiration dates: Medications lose their potency after a while. Its thought that the medicine is âbadâ after that, but no, it just starts losing potency.
Food Expiration dates: An educated guess, as sometimes things go bad before and after dates. It is also at best possible storage. Keep milk out of the fridge, it is going bad long before that dateâŚKeep bread in humid places, its gonna get mold fasterâŚclaiming this is some secondary gain is ignoring the actual facts of it for the âgreedâ aspect.
If youâre smart enough to build anything out of Lego, you can install an SSD.

Some cases no. Mine has a slot I can slide a SSD at the top of without issue. Some you do have to open itâŚbut even opening the case is not hard. Its 2 screwsâŚ
I have a SSD. I was just responding to the suggestion it is as easy as putting in plugs and cables.
It depends on the medication and the food.
Obviously thereâs nuance to each, and only a moron would make a blanket statement in absolutes.
On a case-by-case basis, I do not believe the SSD requirement in WoW is influenced by external forces because, itâs 2020 yo. Get a freakinâ SSD.
These threads need merged.
OR claim there is a conspiracy theory to get people to buy SSDsâŚ

The reason I donât like doing this stuff is that unless it is just my luck, the parts are generally more likely to be defective than things like plugs and cables so they really need to be tested after.
Just trying to disarm the âanti-SSDersâ of another excuse.
I agree. Thereâs no conspiracy here. SSDâs have been mainstream for a decade. People need to get with the times.

You will be able to play just fine on an HHD, they probably assume that now a days anyone playing videos games is probably doing so from an SSD. After all they go for about the same price and itâs not some super new cutting edge tech.
Itâs not but people also believe 5G infrastructure causes disease and that every needle you ever see is loaded with microchips.

Like you ordered a new SSD and it would be defective? or the port on your MoBo was defective? Because there are ways to test that without needing equipment too.
