Does SSD make a difference in gaming?

[pete_agreatguy]

Hi all,

Other than loading times, is there any other benefit to having a SSD for gaming compared to having a mechanical?

Thanks

Already own two SSDs. A seagate 600 series 480GB and a Samsung 840 Evo 250GB. Plan on upgrading the latter to a higher capacity.

I'm into Simulators, mainly Flight Sim, Train Sim but also play other games such as OpenTTD, GTA V, Cities Skylines etc.

Looking at getting either the 500GB varient of the Samsung 850 Evo or the Crucial MX300 525GB SSD at the moment (SATA not m.2).

Cost is no issue as I have savings.
