An older benchmark from Tom’s Hardware shows virtually no difference between an SSD and HDD in in-game performance. The reality is that games that are installed on an SSD will not deliver you more frames per second than if those games were installed on a hard drive, all other things equal. In the testing that I’ve done and of the benchmarks that I’ve seen, the results show that the difference between a solid state drive and a hard drive in games is negligible. However, in terms of in-game performance, an SSD will not provide any kind of significant performance advantage.

The faster read and write times of an SSD help it load large files faster and also cut down on the boot times into both your operating system and the programs and applications on your computer. There are a lot of performance advantages of choosing an SSD over a traditional mechanical hard drive.
