During a global memory supply shortage, the primary consideration for PCIe SSDs should be capacity over raw speed, especially for gaming and content creation. While marketing often emphasizes sequential read/write speeds, these have a minimal impact on frame rates, which are primarily determined by the GPU, CPU, and VRAM. Games are increasing in size, with some titles requiring over 150GB, making larger SSD capacities essential for storing multiple games. For users with fast internet, capacity is less critical, but a minimum of 1TB is recommended. Upgrading from traditional hard disk drives to any SSD will significantly improve game loading times. AI
