For context, my brother gave me Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 for my birthday, and it has to be installed on an SSD. When I installed it on my D: drive, which, is an HDD, the game froze a few seconds into the opening cutscene, but the sound kept playing. After looking up this problem online, I found out that the hardware requirements section on the game’s store page says “SSD required”.
I saw people on Reddit complaining about reliability issues with Samsung drives when I was looking into this. No idea if the complaints have any basis in reality.
That could be, no brand is 100% reliable, could be a model, or a more systemic issue, either way, better keep away if you are unsure.
