SSD ou HDD para gaming: a resposta em 2026

Para gaming hoje o SSD é praticamente obrigatório; um HDD continua útil como armazenamento de arquivo.

Why HDD is no longer suitable for gaming in 2026

Loading times on HDD are 3–8× longer than on SSD for modern games. In Baldur's Gate 3, HDD loads 90–120 seconds between areas; NVMe SSD loads in 5–15 seconds.

Some recent games (Fortnite, Cyberpunk with DirectStorage) are designed for NVMe SSDs.

Which capacity SSD for gaming?

1 TB: the recommended standard in 2026. Price: €50–80 (NVMe PCIe 3.0).

2 TB: ideal for large game libraries. Price: €90–130.
