My Top Three NVMe SSD's For Gaming
The new-gen gaming consoles such as the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 have caused many system builders to include Ultra-fast SSDs into their PC build, and as they should. An ultra-fast SSD will significantly speed up your gaming experience, enhancing overall performance.
Over the years, NVMe drives have dropped in price; a top-end fast 1 TB drive will run you just under $150. There is also an abundance of high-performing, reasonably priced budget NVMe's. The options are unlimited.
With that said, If you're in the process of building a new gaming PC and managed to purchase a graphic card ( I had to throw that in there), check my Top Three NVMe SSD's for Gaming.
1: WD Black SN850 1TB
This 1TB SSD is by far one of the fastest drives on the market. It has a blistering sequential read-write speed (7,000 MB/s - 5,300 MB/S). In addition, this drive faired well in most real-world performance tests.
Price: $199.99
2: Addlink S70 512GB
The Addlink S70 512GB is a good performing drive at a very reasonable price point, an optimal performing PCIe 3.0 SSD. What's impressive about this drive is how Addlink pairs the Phison controller with Toshiba's 3D TLC memory.
Price: $76.99
3: Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 1TB
You know the old saying, "you get what you pay for," well, in the case of the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 1 TB SSD, it's the best-valued PCIe 4.0 drive on the market. One of the few drives around using the new Phison E18 controller. It's the successor to the widely popular Phison E 16. This particular drive also has an insanely fast read-write speed, measuring 7,000MB/S - 5,300MB/s.
