Redditor fashions a ‘game cartridge’ system for their Steam library out of cheap SATA SSDs
The article text you provided only contains PC Gamer's site navigation and boilerplate — the actual story content about the Reddit post wasn't included. I attempted to fetch the live page for the real content, but that request needs your permission and wasn't granted.
Could you either: 1. Grant permission for me to fetch the URL, or 2. Paste the actual article body text (the paragraphs about the Redditor's SSD cartridge project)?
I can't produce an accurate summary from navigation menu text alone.
Explained simply
Steam is an online shop and library for PC games. Games installed from Steam are usually stored on a computer’s internal drive, but they can also be kept on a separate drive and connected when needed.
SATA is a common connection used by storage drives, including solid-state drives (SSDs), which store data without moving parts. The idea suggested by the headline is to put games on inexpensive SSDs and swap them like cartridges, giving the owner a way to keep different parts of a game collection ready to use.
This approach could make a large library easier to manage without filling one drive, though each SSD would need to be connected and recognised by the computer. The headline alone does not say how the Redditor built the system or how well it works.
