HDD vs SSD vs M.2 NVMe in Monster Hunter Wilds on PC. The minimum requirements for Monster Hunter Wilds states that a SSD is required to play the game, so I thought I'd test that. In this video, I share my experience playing Monster Hunter WIlds on an HDD. I also included a 5-6 minutes gameplay.

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch

SSD SATA: SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB 2.5”

M.2 NVMe: Kingston KC3000 Gen4 M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4 3D TLC Up To 7000MB/s
