I remember those 15k drives. My first system I had built by Gateway 2000 back in around '93 when they were still fully embracing their SD roots. Their cardboard boxes were printed with Holstein cow patterns. That one I had speced with a whopping 500MB SCSI drive. LOL
My second system I built myself around 1999 and stuck in a fairly early Seagate Cheetah drive. Want to say 4GB at 15k, but it could have been a 10k. Always wanted to build a RAID 5 system(or even RAID 0), but I never could justify it. I don't take photos or videos, and my storage needs are pretty low ever since I moved most of my limited video game playing to Steam. Now if I run out of space, I just uninstall a couple games and replace them. Just a few mouse clicks and I can swap games out easily.
I've been exclusively on laptops for something like 15 years. The series I've used has a modular bay that can accept a removable hard drive. So for quite a few years I had a fast HDD/SSD in the fixed slot and a bigger, slower HDD in the modular bay(when I wasn't using an optical drive or modular battery). Unfortunately for me, that laptop company decided to farm out its laptop division to Lenovo, so I'm looking around for a replacement. Intel switching over to a BGA for all of their mobile processors also killed the fun for me. I used to love buying a refurbished low-end laptop from the manufacturer's ebay site for 25-35% of its original price, then swap in a bigger faster hard drive, more RAM, and then head back to ebay in another 6-12 months to buy a used top speed CPU from a junked laptop. When I was done, I'd have put about $700 into a system that would have originally cost $2500-$3000. When Intel switched to BGA, it meant you were now stuck with the original processor forever and that massively limited the upgradability of laptops.
$179 m.2 nvme drives are insane!
My last laptop I bought a couple of years ago, I went with a HDD, due to storage size. In hindsight I wish I would have went SSD. I was worried about space, but most of my pictures are documents are up on the cloud, so it really didn't turn into that big of a deal.

I down loaded windows 11. When I put a memory card in the slot I go to c-drive to open it up. When it opens is shows all of the pictures in a list but I cant get windows media player to automatically show each picture in order which I was able to do in windows 10. Any suggestions?

Windows 11 can really mess up your mind. Doubt if this is your question but trying to figure out how to create a new folder was like huh!! Then I saw up in the top left hand corner where it said NEW...
Typical Microsoft changing stuff to how they think you should do it is better than you we think it should be.
I am one of those rare individuals who does not own a cellphone (yet) but does own a laptop (Windows 10). I recently heard someone referring to videos they had seen on Snap. 1. Is Snap just another way to refer to Snapchat, or is it a separate video app? 2. Is there a way to download Snapchat onto a laptop? 3. If Snap is a separate app, where does one find it and how does one download it? I'll probably have a few follow-up questions but I will start with these.
