Would installing a solid state drive improve my load time in Rainbow 6: Siege? [duplicate] - Round Brown Wall Clock

I have a Ryzen 2600x and a 1070, but my Rainbow 6: Siege loading times is as much as five minutes. Would installing a 250GB solid state drive be beneficial towards my loading times in Rainbow 6: Siege?



Best Answer

Most likely not because the game needs to wait for everyone to load in to a game so, it may help some times but the likely cause for the long load times is network communication between all players. So even if you upgrade your pc and load in instantly you will still be waiting on others with slower pc's to join/spawn.

    Answer 2

    If your loading time, after selecting an operator, is the only thing you want to improve right now, then yes, a SSD would improve your own loading time! (Only if your internet isn't the cause of your long loading time, you should check that first)

    • If that's not the case, you should definitly look for a newer SSD with a high reading speed.
    • You should also check if your motherboard got a M2 Slot, because if not, you'll need to go for a SATA SSD.
    • Then you need to reinstall the game on your SSD.
