If the game is on the SD Card - it will be read from the SD card.
Sure, if the game needs to randomly write data to disk (I assume this is much rarer) - then it would write to the system SSD as usual.

- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoI'm not sure that's what they're optimized for. I think it's more of just that's how the technology works. It's the same way I wouldn't say that film is optimized for storing lots of data with horrible access cheaply. It just happens to be what it is.
