It shouldn't be a surprise. Games load assets on the fly to save memory, which would be terrible on a hard drive.
Not great for an SSD either since they have finite read/writes too.
Solid State Drives have no read limits, only write limits.
Oh wow that made a ton of changes to my statement! Same difference.
No it's not the same. Playing games, or loading assets causes no wear for the SSD.
