FAQ

A solid state drive's speed is determined by factors such as its interface (like NVMe or SATA), read/write speeds, NAND flash type, and controller technology. NVMe SSDs, for example, offer much faster data transfer rates compared to SATA SSDs.

To use the fastest SSDs, your computer should have an M.2 or PCIe slot that supports NVMe drives. Check your motherboard's specifications or consult your device manual to confirm compatibility.

Yes, you can use a fast SSD as your primary boot drive. This can significantly reduce your operating system's startup times and make applications load much quicker.

Faster SSDs can reduce game loading times and speed up asset streaming in supported games, providing a smoother gaming experience, although they do not directly increase frame rates.

NVMe SSDs use the PCIe interface and offer much higher data transfer speeds than SATA SSDs, which are limited by the older SATA interface. For maximum speed, NVMe SSDs are the preferred choice.
