Is it worth replacing a HDD with a SSD for games with constant updates? - Lemmy NSFW

So my HDD (1TB) where I kept my pc games (Battlenet, Steam, Minecraft and such) seems to be corrupt or something (CHKDSK doesn’t bring up any problem but games or launchers sometimes won’t open or load too slow until I reinstall/verify them; I already formated it but nothing changed) so I am being forced to replace it and I am tempted to buy a SSD, but before I do I have a couple of questions: -How worth it will it be in the long term? Since it’s for some games that will get updates constantly-ish (Like Overwatch, Terraria, Deep Rock Galactic, their own launchers, mods and others) I fear it dying sooner than expected (way before the expected 15 years mark). -How cheap could I go? I was thinking about a NS100 [https://www.amazon.com.mx/Lexar%C2%AE-NS100-Unidad-Estado-s%C3%B3lido/dp/B07XH57DDX], a CS900 [https://www.amazon.com.mx/PNY-CS900-Disco-interno-SSD7CS900-120-RB/dp/B07Y5VDNT9] or a WD Green [https://www.amazon.com.mx/Western-Digital-WDS100T3G0A-Disco-Interno/dp/B09JQMGHDW] (no ADATA because their SSD have failed me previously). -What brands/models are decent/acceptable if I have to keep looking for alternatives? If it’s not a good idea I’ll just get a new HDD, but I’d like to know before I decide anything.

for updates, 100%. i went from a 5400rpm 4tb hdd to a 4tb ssd and the speed difference in redownloading and updating it is amazing. well worth the upgrade.
