HDD vs SSD vs M.2 NVMe in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The minimum requirements for Stalker 2 state that a SSD is required to play the game, so I thought I'd test that.
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: WD_BLACK 2TB SN770 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280
