Does a Faster SSD Matter for Gamers?? - $h!t Manufacturers Say

The SATA SSD is the only one witch would bottleneck a 10GBit Ethernet connection, however I rarely get the full Gigabit Download speed I had for a few years, because it is usually limited by the server from witch i'm downloading

for me linus is a bad colab 😭😭😭

Damn linus. ''Editor can you back that thing up a second'' xD

Imagine going from spinning rust to nvme. My laptop is usable again

I know you have made videos on NVME M.2 SSD Benchmarks for creators usage. But is it possible to make
a video for Gamers base on game storage drives and also tells us what's important for gamers relative to
purchasing a Top Tier & High Endurance TWB / PWB, M.2 NVME'S Gen 4. Is it possible to use these specific drives listed below with out heatsink:

1 - Seagate FireCuda 530 without heatsink 2TB
2 - WD Black SN850X 2TB
3 - Samsung 990 Pro without heatsink 2TB
4 - TeamGroup T-Force Carder Pro Z440 2TB
5 - Kingston KC3000 2TB
6 - Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB

GPU Direct Storage though.. Alan Wake 2 nearing 2GB/s peak

I know this video is old, but laughs in 2023 I already had an incredibly fast Samsung SSD, but just grabbed a 990 Pro (one of the fastest SSD’s ever created) and it’s a HUGE difference. As a game dev, both games AND Unreal are worlds apart faster.

Wow. I did not expect those results. I thought they'd say there wasn't much of a difference but would easily tell them apart.

Very surprised at these results.

hehe. so far, this was the best sponsor overlay...
good job.

2020 feels like yesterday. ddr4 and pcie gen 4 is on their way out.

where is the HDD we should see if for everyday things if it matters like games and starting up a system. should I even bother with gen 3 over gen 4

im getting a 1TB SSD my pc stutters in games (pain in the arse lol) i only have a SSD as my boot drive and 2 HDDs for my games so im just guessing getting a SSD for games would be better.
PC Specs
Ryzen 5 3600
GTX 970 (will upgrade at some point)
16GB DDR4 3200MHz
i don't mind if the SSD loads games a bit slow like a HDD as long as there's no stutters :D

I recently put a new pcie4 ssd in my system for gaming with twice the speed of my current pcie3 ssd.
Disappointingly I can't really tell any difference

I have a question: with current games needing faster read and write speeds, what is considered the base read/write speed for gaming hard drives?

I was playing Lords of the Fallen 2023 and a message popped up saying my hard drive was slow, but did not tell me what speed it considered to be fast

Literally just bought an SSD And SSD case kit for my photos. Works way better than me platter Hd lol

i get it is a small test sample, but never present the options in the same order, that is like testing 101.

damn i got a dramless ssd

First in line to waiting for the slowest player

wrong games you should have tried rust for a real difference

The way things are presented in this video makes me believe that they are saying that it turns out Nwme are crap drives ! And that it seemed slower compared to the other drives ! Have i made a bad decision buying a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2tb with the speed of 3500 mb/s ? Please tell me this isn't true :( !

Does having a nvme ssd in a Sata adapter affect it’s performance (speed)?

i'm still on sata ssd. my friend on m.2 does load into most co-op game servers faster than me.

for example: - Fallout76 -
we load into a server/world at very different speeds. also, when in same server/world, he loads fast travel and instances areas faster as well.

^ this is the kind of test that matters to me. not what we saw in this video.
in other words.... seriously, do a drag race, not a blind taste test.

i would like a comparison with the new gen5 Crucial T700 4TB.

also, this video was unnecessarily confusing [ for the viewer ] because each tester was given the hardware in different order. (1, 2, 3 was not the same hardware between all testers), so the viewer couldn't compare the testers feedback 1:1

I finally made the switch and I'm not noticing the difference at all.

MS Flight Sim frame rate consistency is improved with an NVME.

would love to know how this test fares 3 years later

well im just gonna go with sata dram-less ssd as secondary drive cuz i only want to play games and stream videos online. dont really care about the write speeds.

2023 called, or at least it would if DirectStorage was actually implemented in a lot of newer games

m.2 nvme is crazy fast, these dudes are high lol

Good one 🤔

Honestly after witnessing HDD, SATA SSD, NvME, i can say that besides HDD, both SSDs perform almost the same in 99% of scenarios outside workload with big files. Like Linus said, having a good controller and cache matters most in an SSD.

and Gauthier is pronounced gawtyé lol

yep noticed a big difference from tape to floppy disk then floppy disk to hard drive then hard drive to ssd
but ssd to nvme not really
same for internet between 56kbit and 1gbit a lot but 1 gbit to 8 not so much

I have a 480GB Dahua SSD 2.5'' SATA. I want to add another SATA SSD 1TB. but I am thinking of going with Samsung Evo SSD. Just wanted to know if it is safe to use SSDs from different manufacturers with difference in capacity as well as speed (to some extent)

LOL my homemade 128 gig ramdrive operates at the same speed as my ram... because its.. ddr4 ram lol..... 4000 megs wow.. cough uh I'm getting 19 gigabytes a second...and no I dont wait 1/4 of a second for anything in that drive... lol making everything in a game thats smaller the 128 gigs load INSTANT

so what they are saying is that you should only buy a m.2 on sale and when your other hard drive dies

take a dump on pc manufactures please!

is it still this way

You should've made a benchmark. When someone is distracting you, you easily lose track of time.

Changing from hdd to ssd is the most improvement you’ll ever see, in my opinion.

Confirmed SATA is the fastest, SATA master race represent!

Thanks now ill buy 2TB SSD sata for the price 500GB of NVME gen4 😂

2023 update please ,,, gen 5

i believe that sata ssd was the fastest because the RAM already loaded programs before. since other were faster pc thought like ok they are fast i dont need to preload anything and free up RAM memory .. thats my thought

I’ve owned HHDs (5400/7200 RPM) SATA (6Gbps) SSDs and Gen 3 M.2 NVME and HDDs give me anxiety now 😂, but a 2.5 SATA SSD VS a GEN 3/4 NVME BIG DIFFERENCE IS WHILE TRANSFERRING HUNDREDS OF GBs from one drive to another internally or of course using 10Gbps or faster external ports including Thunderbolt ports… other than that, it’s pretty much the same…

My M.2 pci adapter card is in slot x4 and my speeds from that with a Samsung evo 860 m.2 is maxing out at 562mbs read and 463mbs write my cpu is also a 4690 on a Dell 9020.
My ssd is faster than my cpu?
