Just checking if it impacts anything, and if it does, to what extent. Appreciate your question!

It depends on how you use the PC. For keeping films, videos, photos, and documents, an HDD works well. Faster storage improves game load times, while quicker access aids photo and video editing.

If you enjoy making coffee before Windows gets ready to serve, using an HDD might work. However, with SSDs now affordable in 2021, it makes sense to opt for one instead.

Yes, that’s correct. Using an HDD for storage and an SSD for boot operations is a common setup.

He likely refers to installing an SSD for startup, while maintaining the rest on the HDD.

Sure, the data on the HDD will take a bit longer (varies with your load), while the SSD will be quicker.

I got the point of his question. That's why the joke works well.

Running startup tasks such as boot times and program launches on the SSD is efficient, whereas handling downloads and video storage on the HDD is more effective. This setup would be optimal.

I keep data, so I need space, but I prefer an SSD for faster starts. It also helps save costs.
