Fastest drive?

[Helen Barber]

Is anything much faster than I all ready own?. It's becoming close to full and I'm thinking of upgrading. Might just buy new drive for gaming only.

Product Description:
The Sabrent 1TB ROCKET NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High-Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-1TB) delivers all the advantages of flash disk technology with PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and it is fully compliant with the standard Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), commonly known as M.2.

Based on Toshiba’s BiCS 3D TLC NAND Flash memory, its performance speeds can reach up to 3400 MB/s (read) and 3000 MB/s (write). Power consumption is much lower than traditional hard drives, making it the best-embedded solution for new systems."

Assuming game is even coded well enough to be able to use speed of SSDs there really aren't that much differences between NVMes:

That split/half second difference isn't much...

Of course if game would need loading many dozens of gigabytes of data at once, then there could be more differences.
But just don't see such situations stepping out from niche.

So instead of the absolutely highest benchmarketing numbers it's better to focus on good performance and capacity per price you get.
After all capacity you don't have has no speed.

Also what drives can you fit into your PC?
