SSD od HDD for gaming?

I am using 1TB SSD as gaming drive but with games taking so much space nowadays I am thinking of going for 2TB drive. All my SATA ports are utilised on my Mobo so I can't add another 1TB drive. Only option is to upgrade existing 1TB to 2TB drive. 2TB SSD drive is expensive and hence I thought of going for HDD instead. Will this affect my gaming experience?

OK. I want 7200 rpm HDD but Seagate is providing 5400 rpm only. Seagate has Firecuda but I don't if its a true 7200 drive.
WD has 2TB drives - both 7200 RPM. WD Blue is for 4.5k while WD Black is for 11k. Why so much difference? Is WD Black so good that it commands more than twice WD Blue price?
 
See, more games will use SSD in future. For now most games will load slower from HDD, might at times get loading issues while travelling very fast in open world games, but otherwise no major issue till now.

If you will continue having 1TB SSD, then you can get a 2TB or more HDD for keeping not so SSD dependent games on it.
