[QUOTE="plat, post: 893153, member: 74969"] Hard drives are still in production. Western Digital just got sued and shamed for mis-representing the capabilities of some of its Red disks--it's the first brand that comes to mind when you say "HDD.". So, I think HDDs are by no means "legacy" or in other words: in use until the host mechanism dies of natural causes. As long as something is currently in production, mass rpoduction even!, it cannot be considered "legacy." Windows Defender slows down on an HDD? Maybe then, esp. if it needs defragmenting. On an NVM-e, I don't know it's there unless it ding-dongs in Action Center. :D It's a matter of read/write speeds. It's like saying a bicycle is legacy because it's slower than a gas-powered engine, at least in my mind. [/QUOTE]
