SSD vs HDD

What are the benefits of installing the games on an SSD over and HDD if it's not much I might install it on my HHD since I have more room on that.

load times are already super low on an average hdd, there is very little advantage to installing this on an ssd

How long it takes to load a level. That's basically it, once the levels loaded the majority of memory operations are handled by the RAM until the end of the level.

I’m not an expert but games installed on an SSD faster than on an HDD. Loading times vary from game to game and imo, having that extra loading time on an HDD lets me run to the bathroom real quick is great.

I put it on my SSD, but this is not a demanding game. I think there's no big advantage. It doesn't use much memory, so the loading times are short anyway.

So my config is 9600k + 1060 And on relise day I was playing story in coop with my friend and I had some mini stutters then I've deleted a game and runed in on SSD and the problem was done.

This game is 10 years old and was designed to be run off of a dvd, you will be 100% fine installing it on a HDD

i've got it installed on a separate HDD. campaign maps load in literally 3 seconds.

SSD on this game is moot.

You already know what the advantage is : a SSD is significantly faster. Especially at random reads because there are no seek times.

You're going to be bottlenecked in online play by the other people you're playing with so you'll really only see an improvement in campaign mode, single player
