I have a SAMSUNG SSD 860 EVO and the loading times are practically the same compared to an HDD (Seagate 7200 rpm).

Yeah. Was going to say that you probably won't notice any difference.

For me SSD did made a difference in loading times.

If the game needs to load many small files, then SSD is the better place. I too remember much shorted loading times with SSD. If you are short on RAM (hardly the case I expect in 64-bit systems thesedays) then SSD is also better to prevent or lessen virtual memory swapping.

Both, Both are good generally people use SSD for games and the HDD for files, documents, books, movies, pictures and stuff
