hey guys,

I have a 500gb boot drive for Windows, and a second 1tb NVME for games..now I was considering replacing the NVME for a 2tb one, or getting a "standard" SSD to connect up, (either a 1 / 2 tb drive)..

Will a SSD be for games? or is a bigger NVME really the way to go?



Cheers.
 
The only real advantage you get from games on different storage technologies is load times so unless you play competitive online games there's not much of an advantage, that is if you don't mind waiting an extra few seconds.

thanks for the swift reply. I do play Escape From Tarkov and CS GO / CS2 but they are on my NVME atm anyway..

I think if thats the case, I will get a "standard" SSD then, cheers mate.
 
What about using an adapter in a pci-e slot, or sticking one in a usb caddy?

interesting..

I am not clued up on this. I see it would work out cheaper to get the adapter and a NVME drive, as apposed of the faff of using a standard SSD..

The only available slot I have under my GPU is the "small one" (is that the x4 slot) I am not sure.. if it is, would it power the NVME ok?
 
what model are your 500gb and 1tb nvme drives that you have currently?

currently I have some budget drives (as I think brand names not always mean the best, imo after my Crucial crapped out in 8 months), they are fanxiang drives..

Think im gonna go with a SSD, saves messing about..

Im just not sure weather going for 1tb or a 2tb drive?

Im guessing games are only gonna get bigger and bigger..
