TL;DW:
-
You’ll want a PCIe 3.0 NVME drive at minimum for an optimal gaming experience. Anything beyond PCIe 4.0 is excessive and is a poor use of your money.
-
SATA SSDs are still viable but on the cusp of unplayable.
-
And lastly no one should game on a HDD/harddrive as the performance is beyond abysmal.
Akin to volume 10 and 11 on an amp. Would you really notice if it only said 10?
Well it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not 10.
