I respect your point, but I can't entirely agree with it. The computer is used not only for gaming purposes, so it's silly to load the main disk with games. Sometimes games can weigh 100 GB. If you load the main and fast disk of your PC, the whole system will suffer.
It is more efficient to install an additional hard drive with good characteristics if the game's loading time is an important parameter for you. The main thing is to be careful not to lose some of the data; otherwise, you will have to deal with HDD RECOVERY.
By the way, many gamers now do not even install games on physical media but use cloud servers.


Yeah,

To be honest it's cheaper now to game via cloud... Saves on upgrades for a very long time....

Your current SSD isn't slow at all...

Rule of thumb is
Have a small SSD just for OS

Then a SSD for GAMING

SSD For storage.

Hard Drive for Dormant Storage.

About a year ago i upgraded from my 600/600 to 7000/7000 i notice the difference. I do pack ryzen 5 gen with an enthusiast mobo.

If you have fuck you money, definetly get it!
If you have to take loan or need food, do not get it.

i would not call your current ssd slow. if your machine supports the 980 then you could upgrade to it but I think it's at least fair to say that you're overestimating the actualized performance boost with your workloads. you need to figure out what the current throughput of D2R is on your storage to know the full picture. thats probably not your bottleneck.


Bingo.

SATA to NVME was a huge difference. Pcie4 nvme is so fast I don't even know what utilizes 4 GB/sec (IIRC) unless you're transferring large amounts of data rendering/video editing?
