I'm looking to upgrade my PC with a new SSD for faster load times. What are your recommendations for a good SSD specifically for gaming? I'm considering factors like capacity, read/write speeds, and durability. Any particular brands or models that have worked well for you?

The Samsung 980 Pro is still one of the best options for gaming. I've been using the 1TB version for about a year now and load times are insanely fast. Worth the extra cost over SATA drives, especially if you're playing large open-world games. Just make sure your motherboard supports PCIe 4.0 to get the full speed benefits.

Gaming performance rarely depends on drive speed, as it's not a storage-intensive task. You'll likely see minimal difference between fast and slow drives during gameplay, as other components have more impact.
