A SSD rarely influences loading times significantly.SSDs generally have excellent read/write speeds but most consumer SSDs are not much faster than a good hard drive. Where a SSD's performance comes in is with responsiveness; lacking a seek time or physical platters, they have random access performance that a hard drive can never hope to match.In conclusion there is rarely any benefit whatsoever to gaming on a SSD, but you would benefit greatly by running your operating system on a SSD.
