As the title says how important is the 4k random speed to the loading times for 3ds games? I know that the 4k write will matter when it comes to saving the games but how important is this for the games themselves on my n3ds?
P.S.
I just replaced my old uSD card in my dstwo with the samsung EVO sd card and game saves are way better and load times seem to be shortened some. Pokemon games save in literally 1s instead of the old 5-6s(if I remember right)
Here's the sd card in my nearly 9yr old laptop in the sd card port which I'm 110% sure doesn't have UHS-1 bus speed support.
P.P.S.
the uSD card I have in my n3ds right now has a 4kQ1T1 random read of ~5MB/s and a write speed of ~1MB/s that's with a UHS-1 enabled usb-3.0 adapter so I imagine that the speed in a standard sd card slot will be much lower.
