Does it make sense for a game like PUBG to separate Windows and games, or to put Windows on one SSD and games (PUBG) on another, e.g., a Samsung 980 Pro?
I'm currently building a new PC and considering ordering a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 SSD. Should I install Windows and PUBG on it, or does it make sense to separate them? I still have a regular Samsung 870 Evo 500GB SSD here.
If I decide to use the 870 evo for Windows and the M.2 for PUBG, will it be possible to reinstall Windows without any problems and still run games on the M.2 (no need to reinstall the games)? That alone would be an advantage.
But does separating Windows and games really do anything for the game? Other than slightly faster loading times thanks to the M.2? I'm asking because I had some issues with PUBG on my old PC (stuttering, etc.).
I also heard that an M.2 PCIe 4.0 isn't really necessary. 3.0 is perfectly sufficient, is that right? My new PC will likely have an i5-13600K with DDR5 RAM.

If you install Pubg on other boards than Windows, you can reinstall Windows without having to reload Pubg. It doesn’t matter if you have Windows and all the games on a record or if you use 2.
Charging times do not affect it, but I would generally recommend to set up a separate record for Windows.
If you don’t manually set it up in small work, the system board will grow continuously because user data will be stored there. For the system plate I would now recommend at least 256 GB, better 512 GB.
And what do you say to m.2 PCIe 4.0 vs 3.0? Is 3.0 or better 4.0? Question because 3.0 m.2 Samsung 980 Pro is currently very cheap;)
For Windows the 3.0 runs.
No, I would have a m.2 (PCIe.4.0 or 3.0) and a normal SSD 870 Evo. I don’t have a second m.2 for Windows. Either Windows comes to the normal SSD and the m.2 (is still bought) for games or vice versa. Or everything on m.2. I will not order a second m.2 for Windows…somewhere the fun stops!;)
