TL;DW:

  1. 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.

  2. SATA SSDs are still viable but on the cusp of unplayable.

  3. And lastly no one should game on a HDD/harddrive as the performance is beyond abysmal.

    Doesn’t even make a difference for that, for the most part. Most game loading is still CPU bound once you go past spinning rust.
