Do SSDs make a big difference gaming?

no, but they probably will once game engines start being designed around them. If you can stream assets from an ssd you don't need to design things around loading sections.

SSD yes. NVMe not yet but eventually

For some games, games really need to be designed with them in mind though.

FFXV load times improve from like a a minute to 15 seconds for example.

no and you shouldn't be a cuck that buys one until 4TB and up SSDs are affordable

It depends on the game. In R6 Siege they're very noticeable, same with Destiny 2 and Modern Warfare. I don't mind running single player games on HDDs though.

depends on the game
if you have a fast hdd or hybrid then you probably wont notice a massive different

SSD will never be lower latency than RAM

>he bought into the marketing word salad

not until PC lobby fixes the bottlenecks

They absolutely do, no more DRRRRRRDRRRTRRTRTTTT every time you boot up a game.

no get a RAMdisk

Bros im scared of my ssd failing. I have like 80gb of futa porn and feet pics ive collected over the past 8 years. The constant worry of it failing is too much to handle.

>he doesnt own two 4tb backup hdds both with similar backups so if one fails the others still good

Then do something about it

just get a fucking external HDD for mass storage

I keep all my porn in the cloud

>only 80GB

fpbp

They'll still fundamentally change how RAM is used.

haha yeah same here but it's just porn so i'd get over it after a day or so.

Entirely depends on the game

What kind of HDDs do you buy or how old is yours?! Modern drives (even with several platter) are near silent. 5400 and 7200rpm ones

only game i've ever had really long (1+ minute) loading times is bf4 but that's a 7th gen game. bf1 loads maps in like 10-20 seconds on my HDD despite having way higher quality assets.

I hate having a HDD so fucking much

I have no idea, I had some old 1tb 7200 drive and that shit was loud.
But I do miss it sometimes, at least with it I could hear that my PC is doing something even when the screen is black or something freezes.

Fucking hell, what you got in all those drives?

SSD's don't die like HDD, they just become noticeably slower. The only time they fail if it you physical damage it or it shorts.

If it starts running slow go to the manufacturers site and download the firmware update which may fix it. Otherwise that's the sign its about to die.

one game for the oculus rift

One of my ADATA SSDs is 7 years old and is still working fine.
You should be fine if you keep an eye on how many dead sectors in has and how fast new ones appear.

Yes. Loading screens are non-existent

your 4TB seagate drives have one of the highest reported failure rates of any hdd to ever exist, hope ur runnin zfs.

Not really, you get faster loading times and your PC starts up faster, but that's all.

unplayable for the last 2 years using an HDD

>Seagate

Rip this user's files

Depends on the game. The Witcher III seems to do great on an SSD.

Max Payne 3 is meaningless.

Would it be worth to change the hd of the ps4 for a ssd in this day and age?

honestly i don't play many games anymore that i did with my 500gb sata ssd as a system drive so i can't tell, every game loads extremely fast but i don't know if they would anyway.

what i did notice the most was when installing pirated games.

They certainly do for console ports. Lowers loading times from 30 seconds to 1.

>NVME
>gaming
Hello? Retard department? Yeah we got another one.
NVME is for stuff like video editing or low profile and are fucking expensive to waste as storage. Any standard sata drive is cents on the dollar now and will only reduce loading times.

They are nice to have, but not really.
NVMe SSDs are useless for gaming.

Just make a backup already.

PS4 uses SATA2, while there is a difference it wont be big.

>Any standard sata drive is cents on the dollar now and will only reduce loading times.
This hasn't been my experience. Prices seem pretty even across 2.5" SATA drives, M2 SATA drives, and M2 NVMe drives.

SSD is for video games, the operating systems and maybe some software, the rest goes to your HDD retard

SU800/MX500 are pretty cheap.

Not right now because prices are fuck thanks to chinkvirus.

what is better?

SSDs are a meme and a waste of money

>What is better
HGST drives.
>What is better for consumers
WD Blue HDDs, Reds are made for NAS use but they work too.
