I have 2 SSDs installed in my PC, 1st one is a 120 GB SSD with Windows 10 installed in it & 2nd one is a 240 GB SSD with Windows 7 installed in it.

Now that new games are super huge sizes, I am thinking of getting another storage disk for my PC (For game installations), but kind of confused to choose between a SSD or HDD.

Which one should I get? Would it help games load & run faster if I installed a SSD? Do I get slow performance from a HDD (even if it's 7200 rpm)?

I am inclined towards an SSD because HDDs produce a lot of heat & would consume more power. Yet it's cheap. SSD's only disadvantage is its price.

Which one should I go for? (For game installations)

I am not intending to store any files in my PC, I use a few external HDDs for that. I am only concerned about game installations.
