[QUOTE="truefacts, post: 889561, member: 87912"] That it is still used does not matter. It is used only because of cost. And the cost is so low because it is legacy. It is outdated technology even with the vast improvements over the decades. HDD are not intended to run an OS on it. The HDD use case in this day and age is for data storage. Just because people continue to use HDD and it is widely used, does not make it Microsoft's priority. What is posted on a forum has no influence. Of course Microsoft does not care. Of course WD is not optimized to work on HDD. Microsoft never intended to do so for a lot of reasons that people here either do not know or refuse to accept. All one need do is search for Microsoft's official positions on hardware. Support stops. They EOL efforts all the time. I do not think Microsoft is blameless in certain cases. But the technology has been overcome by other events. And that is SSDs rise to supremacy in the market place and HDD relegated to data storage legacy. People are triggered because their perspective is that Microsoft is screwing them over by being negligent in making WD better on obsolete HDD. Microsoft doesn't want to do that. It is a lost cause money losing effort for them. There is nothing for anyone to get upset about. Accept reality for what it is. Not what they want it to be. You can see the triggered people that keep jumping in and saying HDD is not legacy. It sure is. It is obsolete technology. Anyone in IT knows that. [/QUOTE]
