Which SSD Should I Buy for a Gaming PC?

[@crazydogowner]

This is actually very useful. I didn't know the 2.5 inch uses a sata data, and since my mobo doesn't have a m.2 drive maybe I should get a 2.5 ssd for it

[@OdinAlgeron]

if it doesnt have a m.2 slot buy a expansion card that adds one, the only down side is you will not be able to use it as a boot drive so get a 2.5 ssd as a boot drive

You can find a Gen 4 2TB TeamGroup MP44L M.2 NVME for around $60-70 these days, and they generally don't require an extra heatsink because they used a new material for the top sticker that acts as a heatsink.

[@pancakewaffles]

As a 2TB drive that may be cheap but I wouldn't recommend something that lacks a DRAM cache on board. It has HMB but the performance is nowhere near as good as something like a 980 Pro 1TB which has a DRAM cache on it and can be had for just over $50USD

Another important thing to know, some SSD’s do not have cache, and those are best to avoid, since they are barely faster (sometimes even slower) than a traditional hard drive. The annoying thing is that it’s often not listed in the specifications whether the drive does or does not have onboard cache, so you’ll have to google the serial number. There are however lists online with both 2.5 sata drives as well as M.2 ssd’s which are known to have cache.

SATA drives, 2.5 or mSATA, are completely fine for day to day use. Most games can't even take advantage PCIe 3.0 x4 drives, though that is changing.

Damn that 2.5inch is only 100mb/s faster than my external Hard Drive that has 500mb/s

[@Geheimnis-c2e]

That's the data transfer speed. The pagefile reading speed is drastically different.

[@Lukas_Neumann]

@@Geheimnis-c2e by how much?

[@scarthy]

Should've added on to the Nvme SSD's, the importance of having an onboard Dram cache when it comes to gaming performance.

This is why I clicked the video😢

[@Jamesthemagician-l2t]

Is the cpu cooler necessary?

[@ItsGamein]

LTT did a Gen 5 test and the improvements were negligible for response time, it was only better for moving large amounts of data, if you want a fast pc you should save money and get a gen 4

Note: This "doesn't" change your internet speed. If you have a 3gb/sec drive you won't download from the internet at that speed unless your internet provider allows that speed. "More expensive plan" this also goes vise versa.

I got a question, my CPU is the 10100f and GPU is the rx 580. What would be a good upgrade for a CPU and GPU?

[@tumultoustortellini]

Depends on your budget. If you're going cheap, a 12100f and 6600 or 6650xt is great, and can even bring out 1440p in well optimized/slightly older games. If you're going solidly midrange (around 500 dollars to spend), get a 12600kf, and a 6700xt (or a 6725xt, it's only 10 dollars more when available). More than that and you'll have to tell me yiur budget

[@mathmasterbaljitsin6647]

What gpu should I use with i5-13400f

[@alancarpenter9338]

14 hundred is this 1,400 not 14,000

Which ssd is best for gaming

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

Honestly, for actual gameplay purposes there is very little to no difference in performance between Sata SSD and a NVME one. Frametimes aren't affected much and load times in both cases will be orders of magnitude better than a standard HDD. From there, the NVME will pull just barely slightly ahead of the Sata HDD. At that point, it boils down to cost and what is available on your motherboard.

[@nerolykk]

For gaming sata SSD is enough

[@buttergolem8584]

But do you need more than a Sata SSD for gaming?

[@rashira9610]

The best way I can think to put it is: It depends. Since the biggest difference between SATA and NVME, aside from connector type and physical dimensions of the device itself, is the Read/Write speeds, it all is down to how patient you can be when it comes to loading times. Honestly, if you don't mind longer loading times, you might not even need an SSD at all. I store a lot of my games, single player games in particular, on a USB 3.1 HDD. the load times can be pretty bad, but I figure its a small price to pay for 5tb of storage at a reasonable price (I paid $90 before tax) that I can use not just for games where the longer loads wont bother me, but also as long term cold storage even for games where the long loads MIGHT bother me, which I can just transfer to an SSD when I want to actually play. ( I don't know about other stores, but Steam lets you move the install between drives so you don;t have to redownload/reinstall) This allows me to get away with keeping the stock 512gb NVME that came with my laptop for my Windows install and any non gaming programs I might want to have, and a 1tb NVME for the couple of games where I feel faster speeds are necessary, so that I don;t have to invest an ASSLOAD of money into high capacity NVME SSD's (my laptop has no SATA connection, just two NVME slots)

[@ionlyswimfree9387]

As someone with terrible memory, the only thing I'm bound to remember from this is how fun it is just say "sata data." 😂

[@KingdomRepublic]

I know that they effect loading speeds in booting up and loading games but does a faster SSD affect performance like RAM and CPU and GPU?

[@vasudevanmanoharan4906]

I want to build a $600 gaming pc as a beginner, suggest a good configuration for it with a dedicated graphics card, i dont want a monitor, also I already have keyboard and mouse.
