It shouldn't be a surprise. Games load assets on the fly to save memory, which would be terrible on a hard drive.

Not great for an SSD either since they have finite read/writes too.

[–] LoafyLemon@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Solid State Drives have no read limits, only write limits.

Oh wow that made a ton of changes to my statement! Same difference.

No it's not the same. Playing games, or loading assets causes no wear for the SSD.
