VALORANT IS SO UNOPTIMIZED FOR HDD
VALORANT is so bad when it comes to HDD gaming. Any tips on how to improve loading time on HDD? I should be receiving my external drive in a week or two so until then how do I actually join the match before it ends lol.

This is an issue with files loading off of your disk. You might have a HDD. If you do, you should defragment it or get an SSD and place Valorant on it.
Use
windows key + r than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have.

Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are data storage devices. SSDs are usually much smaller, thinner, and offer more storage volume, speed, and efficiency compared to HDDs.
Will the wipe all my data
Like as in remove my files
"SSDs offer more storage volume" 💀 not in my case i have 7gb left in my SSD drive
it was originally 100gb or something
Is it also normal for a "gaming" laptop to have C: ssd and D: hdd
My D: is like 1tb
I have no clue about these stuff bro sorry
🤷♂️ idk
Thanks youre so cool

valorant installed on an ssd will most likely fix your problem (long loadingscreens -> afk bans?)
:AFoxy_Hug:
EXACTLY THAT
so my game takes 8 minutes and 30 something seconds just to load in
from play button on launcher to main menu
and when i join a game
i join 2nd or 3rd round
yup, then an ssd is your solution :2_peepoSalute:
external drive should be fine?
afaik as long if its an ssd yes
cool 😈 thanks youre a real one
:2_peepoSalute:
