I've been on SSD since Early legion and I could never ever go back to spinning disc for WoW.

On a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVME my load screens are less of a load screen, more of a "waiting to sync with the servers for a sec" kinda thing.

My system is overkill for WoW (even at 2K) but that's how I like it

HDD has been ass since WotLK days, I still remember spinning around in Dalaran resulting in spiky FPS until moving on to Solid State.
