HDD vs SSD vs M.2 NVMe in Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2. The minimum requirements for Space Marine 2 state that a SSD is required to play the game, so I thought I'd test that. Despite the longer loading times, the HDD still holds up. 

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
