SSD speed up game installs?

Just curious - will an SSD speed up installing games or other programs being installed from a DVD drive? Or is reading from a DVD still the bottleneck?

Thanks!
 
The DVD drive will probably be the bottle neck 🙂

not much probably about that, you can be sure of that.
Only if the installation does some heavy IO stuff (like precompiling sharders or somesuch) will you see a possible gain from an SSD.

Loading times when running the game should be lower tho.
 
Yea much lower, especially when loading small files into memory/page.

My SSD has been the best upgrade ever, get it 🙂
