"The all-new Spatium series SSDs from MSI are built with their PCIe Gen 4 technology capable of reaching an incredible 7,000 megabytes per second read and 6,800 megabytes per second write speed."
"The SSD and its speed allows us to more quickly load in and display more detailed assets."
"SSDs need to be 'ahead of anything you can buy on PC for any amount of money right now.'"
"Comparing speeds: an SSD was only twice as fast in terms of sequential speeds, but the responsiveness was night and day."
"No, it's not just boot time. The whole system is faster with an SSD."
"I cut my loading time from 53 to 32 seconds switching from hard drives to an SSD. That's a big difference."
"Moving from busted old hard drives straight up to a modern nvme SSD is going to massively improve just about everything in terms of console feel."
"The evidence for an SSD upgrade is looking good."
"The biggest upgrade relates to the loading speeds."
"With over four times the speed of SATA SSDs, the SN 550 provides optimal performance for content creators and PC enthusiasts."
"SSDs are faster than hard drives not just because of the sequential transfer rate, but also because of random access time."
"The only user-upgradable component is the NVMe SSD... wicked fast drive speeds."
"For storage, this system is rocking a 500 gigabyte Kingston nv2."
"Now with the NVMe SSD L2ARC is so much more powerful than it was just five years ago with the SATA SSD."
"The next accessory is an SSD pouch from a company called Fail Fast."
"When it comes to an SSD, in my opinion, you should be going for a gen 4 nvme at minimum right now."
"If you're looking at buying a small SSD to use as a boot drive for your own or someone else's personal computer, spend the extra money to get a DRAM cache model."
"If you have any experience with these drives or other similar models, or if you have some sort of cool fun project using a small SSD, leave a comment below. I'd love to hear about it."
"The prices on SSDs are really good right now."
"Just running on mechanical drives is likely going to be fine if you have a light home server use, but if you have multiple servers or getting multiple terabytes of data, you really want that SSD as a special drive."
"The SSD enclosure...is great for adding fast m.2 NVMe SSD storage to the Steam Deck."
"SSD compatibility for faster performance."
"You can actually open it up and you can upgrade the SSD later down the line."
"You can easily swap it out for another two and a half inch SSD should you easily want to."
"The single best upgrade for older devices is an SSD."
"These are SSDs that are meant to be connected directly to the PCIe bus, there is no SAS controller or anything involved there."
"SSDs perform at their best and are their most durable when the longer you keep the SSD beneath 50°C."
"This is an awesome Gen 4 SSD that's going to run really fast."
"We've got ourselves a working SSD, that's good."
"This is the SK Hynix Gold S31, and so far, this is the fastest SSD that I have tested."
"This is one of the best SSDs I've featured on the channel for a very long time."
"SSDs are quickly taking over HDDs... they serve the same purpose but instead of spinning disks, they've got static chips known as NAND chips."
"If you do install an SSD into a computer, you're gonna have a better time than if you don't."
"Replacing a mechanical hard drive with an SSD is likely the most effective way to experience a significant boost in the overall speed and performance of your Windows."
"If you have a SSD drive... you're going to have a lot less issues."
"The Samsung SSD 980 Pro is a great drive and this heatsink version should keep things nice and cool."
"Now you've got PCIe Gen 4 SSDs instead of Gen 3."
"That's what makes an SSD based system just feel so fast."
"If you are looking for something to dissipate the heat off of that SSD and the controller to maintain performance, efficiency, durability, and more, this is the best SSD heating out there for that."
"Seven M.2 slots. I mean, if you put like a four-terabyte Samsung 990 Pro in seven slots, 28 terabytes of potential SSD storage."
"SSD is definitely the way to go, more expensive but less crying."
"SSDs typically run just as good as they've ever ran, all the way up until they don't."
"SSDs or NVMe SSD upgrades that take advantage of PCIe Gen 4 connectivity are a completely different kind of fish."
"If you clone the SSD, the only thing you would need to do is turn it on."
"This isn't some slow poke hard drive; rather, it's a high-speed SSD that can hit transfer speeds up to 2000 megabytes per second."
"Man, SSDs have gotten to the point where, even without hard drives, you can have a freaking ton of storage capacity in a case like this."
"Having a host memory buffer on a DRAM-Less SSD can sometimes make it comparable to DRAM, but having DRAM on SSD is really gonna be the best."
"This thing can be so much faster with an SSD."
"Once I had the SSD installed, the change in performance was mind-blowing."
"The pros of an SSD far outweigh the cons."
"Your reads are very, very fast on solid-state drives because you don't have to wait for the seek or rotational delays."
"Solid state disks have no moving parts."
"The biggest upgrade you can do is to replace the hard drive with an SSD."
"Everything is just so much more pleasant with an SSD."
"It's a pretty good two and a half inch SSD, some of the fastest ones on the market."
"Apple actually picked the best SSD controller for use under OS X in my opinion."
