Resident Evil Requiem HDD vs SSD vs NVMe comparison. The Steam page states that an SSD is required to play the game, so I tested the loading times of all three drives and also played the game for 1 hour directly from an HDD to see if it is actually acceptable or if an SSD is really necessary.

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM
SSD SATA: SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB 2.5”
M.2 NVMe: CORSAIR MP700 Elite 1TB PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD
