The grind is a state of mind in my opinion. Are you playing the game because you enjoy it, or just so you can say you have everything and completed all aspects of the game? For me, thinking the game as a grind is only true for the latter.
I have everything in GTA online, but I’ve also got about ~4000 hours on it. There are only a few in game assets that add an improvement to the gameplay; everything else is meaningless.
I have a few Kingston DTEG2. They all perform like the Crucial and the Samsung.
I’ve tried many SanDisk since that’s all they sell in the brick and mortar stores near me and they’re all trash.
