Im lead to believe that it makes loading times shorter and im getting one for just general gaming but i wanted to go around to the games i plan to run to get thoughts about it reguarding runs.

I have a ssd harddrive and it shortens the load times if I campare it to your runs. the best way to go arround that would be to take the times without loads. but this takes a lot of effort or an autosplitter-tool.

as the runs aren't super optimized (speeking of less than a minute between 1st and 2nd place) the extra loading times don't make that big of a difference I say. lets say 15 mission loads with +3 seconds loading for each is about 45 Seconds additional time.

on a different note: ssd's aren't as expensive as they were a few years ago and probably every new pc has at least one ssd for the os and some programms. so my personal optinion would be that if someone who wants to perfect the speedruns of this game he/she should get a pc with a ssd.

My PC is a chimera of various parts and im only now getting around to upgrading , a SSD is part of it along with a getter graphics card and some less needed things like a better monitor with a better keyboard and mouse. Once i get these ill try some more SM and IG runs, also wanted to try a 100% run or two.

cool! I would like to see some more categories filed. I am currently working on a Tau all stronghold run as this is the last faction left for all strongholds. hope to see some new runs of you soon :-).

I admit im curious about tau, but i never played them casually so i didnt want to jump in a speed run with them, while might be abit before i post a run i might be doing some routing for 100% namely the of order points of interest to take. Might make a disscusion here at some point.
