I love the 80s music especially new wave. So I gave this song ashot since I have also played this song in a bandincluding the arpeggiator bass.

Lenovo LOQ IAX9: HDD vs. SSD – The REAL Performance Test (Genshin Impact Part 3)
Is an SSD upgrade worth it for the Lenovo LOQ IAX9? In this video, I’m putting my July 2024 purchase to the ultimate test by comparing External HDD gameplay from my previous videos against a brand-new Internal SSD upgrade.
⏱️ The Loading Battle (Side-by-Side)
I’ve started the video with a direct launch-to-game comparison. Watch the metadata timecodes and stopwatches to see exactly how many seconds you save by moving your game data off an external drive. The results are night and day!
⚔️ The Boss Gauntlet (Performance Comparison)
I fought the same 3 Weekly Bosses to see how the laptop handles high-particle effects and asset streaming.
HDD Test: Includes teleporting and energy farming (Ruin Guard hunting) to show the full experience of playing on slower storage.
SSD Test: Trimmed for speed—direct boss fights and faster teleport transitions.
💻 My Setup:
Laptop: Lenovo LOQ IAX9 83GS002APH
Core i5 12450HX
RTX3050 6GB
512GB SSD
Genshin is temporarily on my external HDD due to lack of storage space
Storage Upgrade: MSI Spatium M450 1TB V1
Old SSd used as D Drive backup storage
Original Storage: Generic External HDD (USB 3.0)
Specs: [Insert CPU/GPU/RAM here]
