is this 2tb silicon power ssd good enough for games?

i already have a crucial mx500 SSD as a bootdrive. and I have a 2tb hard drive for games. is this ssd good enough for games? will the games load significantly faster than a hard drive?

 

i know that SSDs are significantly faster than hard drives but I remember that Linus said that dram less SSDs are slower than harddrives or something like that. I might've misremembered it though.

 

i intend to relocate the 2tb hdd to another pc and resell it. should i just get a 4tb hdd for almost the same price or get this DRAM-less ssd?

Dram-less ssd's perform bad / slow down when continiously writing large files. Once installed games mostly use the ssd to just read the installed files. This doesn't affect performance.

 

I would certainly prefer the ssd over the larger hdd for gaming.
