But really, what you want in a new Windows computer is one that the sleep function works 99-100% of the time. This is not always the case. BUT if the sleep function works great in your new Windows Ten computer.....Then use sleep and rarely turn it off. THEN an old fashioned 1TB hard drive is tolerable. No SSD or NVME needed. I have a computer with Intel Optane chip installed. This hypes up the conventional spinning hard drive action, so that reads go much faster into the 900 mb/s range. Writes stay pretty much the same. Maybe 10% faster. etc.

Who really should need to know that stuff? I have a degree in computer science, have worked as a software engineer and consultant for decades, and HATE dealing with that trivia. It's just a costly distraction in time and attention from getting on with my life.

Just my two cents on all that computer stuff ;-)

Though you be the scholar I save three hundred dollah knowing this stuff. And no bluff, learnable in 30 minutes on youtube, even for rubes, goobers and boobs.
