I'm curious about the transfer times for moving games from a hard drive to a solid state drive. I know the time can vary based on the size of the game files, but can anyone give me an estimate for transferring games that are around 50 GB, 75 GB, and 100 GB?

The transfer time really depends on how fast your HDD is. If it could hit the max bandwidth of a SATA connection at 6 Gbps, moving a 100 GB game could take just over two minutes. But that's the best-case scenario. Other factors are going to play a big role too.
There are so many variables, like the RPMs of your HDD and whether your SSD is SATA or NVMe. But generally speaking, the transfer could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your setup.
Realistically, expect around 10 to 20 minutes for most games. The actual time varies based on your hard drive's speed, the number of small files involved, and the condition of your drives.
