SSD Drives faster?

[lennylemon1234]

Will an SSD card load games faster then a HDD drive because I really need something that's going to be faster. On a SSD card is 540mbs good? How many watts does a SSD card use?

Thank you

Here is an example. World of Warcraft from login to in game with all characters loaded on a Seagate RAID 0 7200 RPM drives = 1 min 20 sec. With 850 EVO SSD 9 seconds! Thats not to say all games will see these types of increases, but this was the biggest one I had.

Wattage is less than a 2.5" laptop hard drive usually, unless very active (unlikely to happen for long periods of time) and especially if very active and a high end PCI-express m.2 or straight PCI-express SSD.
But usually when going full blast with writing, still less power than a laptop hard drive being 100% busy.
When not doing much, hardly consumes any power at all (less than a watt).
Once you go SSD, you don't go back. 540MB/s is plenty for a desktop/laptop in most cases except extreme uses.

I use SSDs for the OS, and any games that have higher loading, like GTA 5, Oblivion, ARMA3. Makes the loading much faster.
