I really wonder which one of my SSD's would run FM21 faster according to the Crsytaldiskmark data below.

This one is WD Green 240GB SSD - WDC WDS240G2G0A-00JH30


This one is Kingston Hyperx 120GB SSD (a really old one) - Kingston SH103S3120G


I really don't exactly know why there are 8 different results. What do they mean cause they differ in these two drives in my case.

Apart from that, i really wonder if a huge facepack mod like cutoutfacepack from sirtoutsi (17GB) would make any impact on the performance of the game? Like, would that make the player searching screen where pictures show up slower? Or the overall processing time.

And because of those packs are filling up so much space, i have moved my documents folder to an another drive which is an HDD. Would that make any difference? Should i move it to an another SSD instead?

Thanks for any helpful comments in advance.
Which SSD you choose is going to make virtually no difference in a game like FM. It MIGHT make a difference in a game loading high-res textures all the time, but not FM. FM is a very CPU-intensive game, that's the main factor in determining how fast it runs.

And no, a facepack will not make the game slower, only when reloading a skin, which you probably won't be doing since you're asking these questions.

I thought like game is working with huge databases and reading/writing things in the background constantly which would probably be affected by the drive i use.
