I ask this in terms of usage of HDD, I have a nearly 3 years old Seagate Harddisk and it works really good even its age, I have zero bad sectors as Speecy shows, playing all my games on this disk, just my Windows runs on SSD.
I mean, does a game can use my harddisk while playing a game? I can see the Disk usage for downloading game on steam library, its around KB-2,5MB and always stays in that rate so in short words, whats the common sense in this topic? Shaun o Illustrious.
