Hey guys,
Just curious if someone has done it before and thoughts behind it. I’ve ordered a 16 with GPU and was wondering what’s the best way of setting up the system when it arrives.
My primary OS is Arch Linux and I prefer not to split the disk for windows. And I happen to see some folks might be booting an OS through an expansion card ( I got the 1TB ).
My windows usage is primarily Steam and nothing else. The expansion card seems fast enough to run an OS, but it doesn’t look as fast as an SSD or NVMe, so games like starfield might suffer some performance is my current guess. If my guess is right, does it mean it’s better to have some external SSD to use as storage?
What do you guys think?
Wrong, I have windows 10 on my expansion card for over a year no issues. Need to use Rufus to install it onto the expansion card in to go mode. Just expect sata ssd performance. The framework cards are not mere cheap Flash drives as you typically find. These are very compact ssds with proper phison controllers
