Planet Coaster on a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe drive is quite demanding. Running it with a Kabi Lake and an SSD or NVMe SSD would likely improve performance compared to other storage options.

Running a game on an SSD reduces loading times but doesn't boost overall speed.

It doesn't improve performance because the current setup or inputs aren't optimized.

Because the HDD/SSD doesn't handle graphics well, only the SSD is useful for speed. A SSD reads and writes files much quicker than a HDD, so you probably won't need more RAM to manage more users in the park. Edited January 21, 2017 by Buzz301

since the game is already in RAM it avoids needing to read from the SSD.

Yes, NVMe SSDs tend to be most beneficial for heavy users who frequently move large files or render videos. In other cases, the return on investment may not justify the cost.

Additionally, a Windows setup on an SSD can start in just two seconds. Singleplayer games tend to load much faster, and it’s beneficial for those who frequently edit videos and transfer files.

Yes, I understand that SSDs boot quicker than HDDs. Focusing specifically on 2.5" SSDs versus NVMe SSDs.

It's the same thing. NVMe is merely a quicker SSD, just like a M.2 drive, identical to a 2.5-inch version that's even faster.
