By Mithun Mohandas | Updated on 26-Apr-2023

Let's get one thing cleared right off the bat. There are no "gaming SSDs". SSDs help with improving your gaming experience simply by reducing level load times. Your computer will spend less time moving textures into your RAM and then to the GPU, so that you can get started with your game quicker rather than staring at a loading screen for an excruciating amount of time.
