    How much of an advatage in speed would an SSD have in games like the Witcher where it loads new areas up as you travel through the game?

    I'm debating the need to add an SSD drive to my new laptop.

    I'm not too sure its gonna help since I have Seagate Momentus 7200rpm 500GB hard drive, and the next area just loads as I'm still getting there without ever stopping. The load up when I first open a save file is like 6-8 seconds too. Maybe it might help but this is what I'm getting.
