Worth installing on SSD?
Does installing on SSD rather than HDD improve performance or is it just shorter loading times? Because I have 124 GB free on my SSD and I'll keep it on HDD if there isn't a major difference.

Most open world games will benefit greatly from the faster read speeds of SSD for texture and asset streaming.
Night City is large, with a lot of detail to stream as you race through the streets.

Loading times are really the only place where they make a significant difference.

CDPR reccomends a "Fast SSD." for better gaming performance.

Waiting for my NVMe RAID controller so I can set up a RAID0 volume for games. :cozyroe:

I have 240 GB SSD only, but yes it's worth to install one game for SSD.
