The reason why HDD's suck has much less to do with bandwidth/throughput and more to do with latency.

I have a 4 TB external SATA SSD that benchmarks about 350 mbps reads, and it plays modern games fine on PC. Load times are slightly slower than using the internal NVME drives, but not noticeably so.

Well, HDDs are slower, no way around it, even in sequential large file reads/writes. But that's bearable. Where they really suck is small files, that's where they really fall of the cliff in performance.

Descent SD cards will be more than enough.
