We’ve seen some incredible NVMe SSD drives released lately, from the breakneck speed of the Kingston Renegade through to the affordable Crucial P5 Plus . The latest drive to enter the market emerges from the same camp as our favourite PCIe 4.0 SSD, the WD_Black SN850 , but as the name suggests, it isn’t gunning for the top spot. No, the new WD_Black SN770 is intended to be a bit more of a value proposition compared to its speedier sibling.

The main way it has achieved this is by being a DRAM-less SSD drive. This saves a big chunk of the manufacturer’s bill of materials, and thanks to advances in the latest controllers, it can be surprising how little impact this has on performance. Such drives are slower, don’t get me wrong, but this new SN770 still quotes read and writes of 5,150MB/s and 4,900MB/s respectively. Not bad.

As those figures should imply, this means that you’re looking at a PCIe 4.0 SSD. You’ll need a supporting CPU and motherboard to make the most of it, although there’s nothing to stop you from sliding it into a PCIe 3.0 slot and maxing out the bandwidth there—you’re going to be limited to a peak throughput of around 3,500MB/s if you do though.

The drive itself is a low-profile affair, with this 1TB model boasting a single NAND flash module at the back (actually a rebranded Kioxia BiCS5 112-Layer TLC chip) and the SanDisk controller towards the connector. Western Digital rarely reveals much about its controllers, and that’s the case once again here. The SN770 is available in four sizes—250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB, although there’s no 4TB option, which is a bit of a shame.

Other than the large sticker in the middle of the drive, that’s pretty much your lot. There’s nothing of note on the backside of the drive. Given how much space is unused here, I can’t help wondering if Western Digital could make a version of this drive that would fit inside the Steam Deck . Pickings are certainly slim for the 2230 form factor as it is. But anyway…

WD Black SN770 1TB Specs

Capacity: 1TB
Form factor: M.2 2280
Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4
Controller: SanDisk PCIe 4. 0
Flash memory: Kioxia BiCS5 112-Layer TLC
Rated performance: 5,150MB/s read, 4,900MB/s write
Endurance: 600 TBW
Warranty: Five years
Price: $105 | £108

The first thing we do with any new SSD is to fill it up to get a real sense of what the performance will be like once it’s actually been used, as opposed to its factory-fresh perfection. This also gives us a chance to see at what point the dynamically allocated SLC cache runs out.

On this 1TB drive, you’re looking at around 130GB of 2GB/s transfers before dropping down to just 400MB/s after that. For reference, the Crucial P5 plus was good for 300GB before hitting the limits of the cache, so the SN770 certainly trails here.

Test rig

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Cooler: Zadak Spark AIO
Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master
RAM: 16GB Thermaltake DDR4 @3,600MHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080
PSU: Ikonik Vulcan 1200W

When looking at the performance of this drive, it’s worth keeping the price in mind, which can ask for almost double what this goes for. For comparison, I’ve pitched the $105 Western Digital SN770 1TB against the similarly budget-oriented $135 Crucial P5 Plus 1TB , the DRAM-less $100 Samsung 980 1TB (a PCIe 3.0 SSD), and our favourite SSD right now, the $150 WD_Black SN850 , which has recently enjoyed some tempting price cuts.

The synthetic performance as recorded by ATTO and AS SSD show the SN770 trails the Crucial P5 in terms of reads, although the writes are much closer. The 4K performance is relatively impressive though and shows that the SN770 has something to offer in this crowded marketplace. It’s not too surprising that this drive outperforms Samsung’s DRAM-less offering, as that is a PCIe 3.0 drive, after all, but the extent to which it does is impressive.

It’s worth noting that this drive can get hot when pushed, just like the SN850 in fact. It hit 76°C after a long day of testing, although that was without any direct cooling on it at all, not even a heatsink. It should be fine in most systems, especially if your motherboard does come with some cooling solution.

It’s in the real-world tests where the SN770 really struts its stuff though, with little between it and the Crucial P5 Plus. In very real terms, you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference between the two in day to day operations, and given this is the cheaper drive right now, that counts for a lot. If you need better performance, then the SN850 is clearly the better drive, but you will pay considerably more for it.

For SSDs to reach far more people, affordability is key

In many ways, that’s the story of the WD_Black SN770. It isn’t the fastest drive around, nor is it quite the cheapest (although it is close), but it does balance the two better than most. If you’re on a tight budget but want to enjoy speedy PCIe 4.0 performance, then there’s plenty to like here. It’s closer to first-gen PCIe 4.0 performance, sure, but if you want faster than this, you’re going to have to drop considerably more cash.

It wasn’t too long ago that the very idea of a DRAM-less NVMe SSD was met with scorn. The Samsung 980 was dismissed by many before the results were even seen, even though it wasn’t that bad a performer for a PCIe 3.0 SSD. The SN770 looks to improve the lot for the DRAM-less though, and with numbers like these, it deserves to. Phison also has a PCIe 4.0 DRAM-less controller on the way, so expect more drives like this shortly.

(Image credit: Future)

The reason DRAM-less drives are important is simply that they are cheaper. For SSDs to reach far more people, affordability is key, and this is a good way of getting closer to, if not below, that $100 for a 1TB drive barrier.

With DirectStorage promising big improvements for our games, the more gamers that have fast drives in their machine, the more tempting it is for developers to actually use it. It’s going to be a long journey for sure, and it’ll probably be years before developers are really pushing SSDs, but still, it’s good to plan ahead.

The only problem here is that we don’t know for sure how fast a drive needs to be for DirectStorage. We know some developers have been targeting 5,000MB/s, which is where the SN770 sits in our testing. So it should be good, and for the money, it’s very tempting. If you’re a serious gamer though, we’d recommend going a little bit higher up the product stack, and grabbing that WD_Black SN850.

Alan has been writing about PC tech since before 3D graphics cards existed, and still vividly recalls having to fight with MS-DOS just to get games to load. He fondly remembers the killer combo of a Matrox Millenium and 3dfx Voodoo, and seeing Lara Croft in 3D for the first time. He’s very glad hardware has advanced as much as it has though, and is particularly happy when putting the latest M.2 NVMe SSDs, AMD processors, and laptops through their paces. He has a long-lasting Magic: The Gathering obsession but limits this to MTG Arena these days.

The WD Black SN850 1TB drive is the fastest PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD you can buy right now. It may not top every test in every benchmark, but when it comes to real-world benchmarking, there’s nothing else that can touch it. Don’t get me wrong, it does well across the synthetic benchmarks, topping plenty of them, but there are a few places where the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus or the Samsung 980 Pro have the edge, but overall that doesn’t take away from the fact that this is the pinnacle of storage right now.

Western Digital was a bit late to the PCIe SSD party but quickly made up for it with the WD SN750, which has been a solid entry in our best SSD for gaming guide for a long time. If you’re still rocking a PCIe 3.0 platform, then it’s still a great option. The point being, that WD hasn’t come out of nowhere to grab the performance crown, and that its focus on performance has paid off.

It helps that Western Digital is in a great position for building quality SSDs, in that it produces everything it needs in house, from the proprietary memory controller to the NAND flash and the RAM. It’s all in house, and that means it can push everything that little bit harder than a manufacturer using off the shelf components, and it shows.

Pushing the components hard, however, obviously manifests in one other key area—temperature. The 1TB version of the drive is single-sided, which should mean it runs a little cooler than the 2TB double-sided offering. Which might be a little alarming, because this is not a cool running drive, coming in 10°C hotter than the other PCIe 4.0 drives I’ve been testing lately. It hit 77°C in the test rig, and that’s using the motherboard’s included heatsink.

If your motherboard doesn’t have a bundled heatsink, then you may need to look at the $20-more expensive version of the drive—it uses the shipping container aesthetic of Western Digitals external drives. Which, personally speaking, looks good, although whether you can spot it in your case is a different matter. If you can aim some active cooling at the drive, then that’ll be even better. We didn’t notice any throttling in testing, although it’s something to be aware of.

You can track temperatures in Western Digital’s Dashboard app. I still have a problem with Western Digital thinking it’s fine to have an advertising block in its toolbox software, as this is something that is only useful if you’ve bought one of its drives. And these things aren’t cheap. That niggle aside this is one of the better interfaces around, with plenty of information on the drive’s status, performance, tools for updating the firmware, and access to Acronis True Image for duplicating an existing drive across.

Any SSD is ultimately defined by its performance, and as stated in the introduction, it’s here that the WD SN850 really stands out from the crowd. The synthetic benchmarks, spearheaded by ATTO and AS SSD, show that this is very much a second-generation PCIe 4.0 drive, with peak sequential read speeds knocking on 6,750MB/s and 5,920MB/s respectively. Writes are lower than the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, but still healthy, at either side of 5GB/s. The 4K write performance in AS SSD manage to flip this over as well, with the WD SN850 managing to outpace the Sabrent drive.

It’s the real-world performance tests that impress the most though, with PCMark 10’s Quick and Full storage tests putting the SN850 way ahead of the field. With an overall throughput of nearly 495MB/s in the Quick test and 550MB/s in the Full benchmark, this is a drive that just keeps powering on in day to day use.

The fact that this performance is echoed in the Final Fantasy XIV benchmark, which has the SN850 loading the five different scenes in a shade under seven seconds for the first time, impresses no end. When plenty of ‘fast’ SSDs still take 12 seconds to complete the same task, that proves what difference the latest technology can have on gaming performance.

Western Digital has been on an impressive run of late. The WD_Black AN1500 brought stunning performance to PCIe 3.0 platforms, while it’s external next-gen SSDs , like the P50, have done well in our testing too. As we’ve said, the SN750 was a decent contender in terms of cost/performance for last-gen consideration too.

The SN850 builds on all of that to stand head and shoulders above the others to be the performance drive you want in your gaming PC. Which brings us to the pricing. The closest drives to this in terms of performance are the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus and the Samsung 980 Pro . The Sabrent is $30 cheaper than this, at a straight $200, which gives it a slight edge in terms of value for money.

The Samsung 980 Pro, which had the edge for a few months, is left out in the cold, especially as it costs the same as the SN850, but loses out to the newer drive in every metric (apart from operating temperatures). Neither is a bad drive, obviously, but if we had to recommend a next-gen SSD right now, there’s only one clear option, and that’s the WD SN850. It’s simply the best drive you can buy today.

TOP 5 SSDs for gamers: from budget to flagship

([email protected])

Published: November 11, 2022

Requirements for gaming PCs are constantly increasing. Storage is a separate item.

Modern games weigh a lot, up to 150 GB, so installing an SSD less than 512 GB does not make sense.

Why you should install an SSD

Classic hard drives are rapidly disappearing from the turnkey market. They can only be seen in older PCs or office models. On the contrary, solid fuel drives provide incredibly fast read and write speeds. Thanks to this, fast loading of games is carried out and a comfortable FPS is maintained.

Even more interesting is the NVMe SSD. Such drives come in M.2 format and are connected to the motherboard. They have even higher performance and speed. The top ones are NVMe SSDs with PCIe 4.0 interface. However, they are still represented by a much smaller number than 3. 0 / 3.1 and can only be connected to a limited number of motherboards.

TOP-5 SSD

The range of SSD drives is constantly growing, and the price is falling. There are new models with even more improved features and capabilities. Consider the five most relevant options that will help you comfortably launch various toys.

Crucial BX500 1TB

2.5-inch SATA SSD drives are gradually losing their relevance. However, many still have old computers that have good performance. The Crucial BX500 1TB is an inexpensive solid fuel drive. Of course, it is inferior to models with a PCI-Express interface, but hard drives are significantly superior. Moreover, in absolutely all respects, it is, perhaps, the best solution from first-tier brands.

If you wish, you can save some money by buying a 480 GB Crucial BX500. If there are no restrictions on the budget, then the Samsung 870 Evo. One of the best SATA SSD, reliable, fast, high quality.

Crucial P2 CT1000P2SSD8 1TB

A pragmatic option for those who are faced with a difficult choice, a high-speed 500 GB SSD or 1 TB SSD. It should be borne in mind here that in most toys, superspeed is not required at all. The base values are enough to play comfortably. However, it quickly becomes clear after several installed toys that there is practically no free space left. The Crucial P2 is an inexpensive drive that does not have a DRAM buffer, but the speed performance is up to the mark. A good option for an inexpensive gaming computer.

Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB

It’s safe to say that Samsung 970 Evo Plus is one of the best PCI-Express 3.0 drives. During testing showed excellent results. The main disadvantage is the price, it is quite high. For this money, you can purchase a drive with a PCI-Express 4.0 interface. Although it will be inferior in certain aspects to the Samsung 970 Evo Plus, it will be much more preferable in home-gaming mode.

AData Gammix S5 AGAMMIXS5-1TT-C 1TB

In this case, even the name suggests that we have a game drive. Although the declared speed parameters are not impressive, in practice, the SSD is significantly ahead of various alternative solutions. An additional plus is the presence of a radiator. With normal airflow, even minimal overheating is excluded, so the high speed will not sag. AData Gammix S5 did not immediately receive a heatsink. The first batch was not very successful, when overheating, not only performance fell, but the PC was also completely rebooted. The company immediately reacted and added a radiator.

WD Black SN850 WDS100T1X0E 1TB

Western Digital is famous for its hard drives. In this direction, it has achieved tremendous success, and even now such products are a priority for many users. The arrival of solid-state drives did not take the company by surprise. Instantly, production was reoriented to advanced solutions. At the moment, WD Black SN850 is one of the most productive SSDs on the market. The characteristics are really impressive, as are the results shown during testing. However, it should be borne in mind that the price is quite high, and such high speed qualities are completely irrelevant for most users.

Conclusion

Presented SSDs are ideal for gaming. Naturally, other options with decent performance are available on the market. This allows everyone to choose the device of their choice. We immediately advise you to abandon Chinese SSD drives without any model names provided by unknown manufacturers. The price is attractive, but the quality is beyond any criticism. In most cases, the characteristics are significantly overestimated. In the manufacture of low-grade components are used. You need a quality SSD, consider one of the options above.

Which SSD to choose for gaming and is there a difference between cheap and expensive drives

This material was written by a site visitor and has been rewarded.

In normal home (non-professional) use of a computer, the difference between the cheapest SSD and the most expensive one is almost invisible to the eye, and with a “blind” test, it is beyond the power of the vast majority of users to identify it. When loading Windows, the difference between SSDs of different categories is calculated in a couple of seconds or not at all. The browser and programs on both open instantly. The overall response of the system is also equally high. Significant differences become visible when testing drives in benchmarks or when rarely used by most scenarios, such as transferring large files from one SSD to another, simultaneous reading and writing inside the drive (for example, installing a downloaded game) and some others. The only real indicator of the reliability of an SSD is its warranty period and the trustworthiness of the store where you bought it. To fail at the most inopportune moment or to be defective can be even a super-brand SSD, even a noname. Although I would like to believe that branded drives use better components. Nevertheless, it is recommended to install better «disks» under the installation of the operating system.

recommendations

Today I want to check which SSDs are best for installing games on them, and if there is a difference between cheap and expensive SSDs. Of course, Youtube is full of tests of SSD behavior in games, but almost all of them are built on the topic “SATA vs NVME”. I will take into account the difference in controllers and in price.

Since I again had to assemble the system unit to another good person, I had at my disposal a computer with three different SSDs on board at once. This happened because, in addition to the new SSD, the owner asked to put a couple more from his old system in the new assembly. With his permission, I added a couple more of my drives to the system for testing. Thus, for the tests, I had four solid-state drives (the fifth system one does not participate in the tests) with completely different controllers and from different price categories. I will describe them below.

First of all, I want to determine the SSD installation options that you usually plan to upload games to.

Option one.

The user buys one capacious drive for «everything». These are, as a rule, «disks» from 500 GB to 2 TB. It is placed on the «C:» drive and therefore it contains Windows, programs, games and everything else. In this case, the performance of the SSD in games is slightly limited by the operating system, since it is always continuously reading or writing something from it. But this effect is not significant and this option is widely used. But I did not use the system disk in the tests.

Second variant .

User buys one SSD for system, software, etc. (eg NVME 500 GB SSD). This is usually a fast and less capacious drive. And with the second drive for games, he buys a more capacious drive (for example, 1 TB SATA SSD). This option is likely even the most optimal. It allows you to “wipe” the system disk less by recording games, which every year are more and more voluminous and in the event of a failure of one drive, the user is not left completely without disks. After all, the store can delay warranty service for a month or more. In addition, with this option, you can leave more free space on the “C:” drive, which is useful for all SSDs in principle.

So, I have four SSDs for testing:

1. Toshiba TR200 480 GB. Inexpensive and good drive based on the Phison PS3111-S11 controller with 3-bit TLC memory. This is a single core dual channel bufferless controller. It is one of the most popular among the budget and is used in the most inexpensive SSDs. This drive works through the SATA interface.

2.Plextor m8vc 512gb. This is already a high-quality SATA SSD based on the proven Silicon Motion (SMI) SM2258 quad-channel controller with a DRAM buffer and 3-bit TLC memory. The same controller is installed in the popular Crucial MX500 model. An SSD with such a controller can be categorized as a «high-quality SATA SSD».

3. PNY CS3030 500 GB. This is already an M.2 NVME disk on the currently widely used eight-channel Phison PS5012-E12 controller with 3-bit TLC memory. Will run on standard Microsoft driver.

4. Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB. Popular NVME drive on Samsung Phoenix controller with 3 bit TLC memory. Needs no introduction. I will call it the flagship of today’s test. Will work on proprietary Samsung driver.

All disks are not new, about 70% filled with all sorts of files, and therefore their performance is as close to reality as possible. The indicators of the so-called «health» of all participants are 100%. «Washed» is also, plus or minus, the same and is approximately 3-5 TB.

The system is very similar to the one in my previous article, but everything is different (other «mother», «memory» and the rest): Ryzen 3700X, AMD B550, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10 64 bit. All disks were connected to the chipset connectors, since the system disk was on the processor lines.

I use two games:

— Shadow of the Tomb Raider;

— Battlefield V.

My conscience does not allow me to overwrite other people’s disks to a larger volume, but this will be enough to demonstrate the overall picture.

So, again, my goal is to find out if there is a difference in games between cheap and expensive SSDs, taking into account the difference in controllers. Of course, the difference in the performance of various drives is determined not only by the controller, but also by the firmware, type of flash memory, connection type, software, and other parameters.

And now a reasonable question arises — how to check who is better? After writing the game to the drive, directly in the game itself, the read mode is most often used. Recording also goes on, but its volume is insignificant and does not create a significant load on the SSD. Therefore, I propose to evaluate the download speed of the games themselves and the download speed of its levels. I think that such a significant indicator for many as “level loading” is approximately equal to the “level loading” indicator. Let’s get started.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

This game eats up about 6.2 GB of RAM (including OS) and 5 GB of video memory in the first level. All settings in the game are turned to the right. I did three «runs» for each value and took the average result. The test results are as follows:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
	Game loading (seconds)	Loading level (seconds)
Toshiba TR200	11.24	9. 56
Plextor m8vc	11.31	9.62
PNY CS3030	11.30	9.52
Samsung 970 EVO	11.20	9.42
	smaller is better	less is better

The Samsung 970 EVO is expected to be the leader. At the same time, the cheapest drive Toshiba TR200 for some reason turned out to be faster than the more powerful Plextor and PNY drives when loading the game. But we see that if we discard hundredths of seconds, then all SSDs load the game and the first level in the same time — eleven and nine seconds, respectively. One would like to say in words from the advertising of washing powder banned by the FAS — “And if there is no difference, why pay more?”. Above, I described two options for installing an SSD. So, in the first variant it is still worth it, because the disk is taken not only for games. And in the second variant, as this test shows, there is no difference and fluctuates within the margin of error. That is, when choosing a drive, it is quite possible to afford to proceed from its price. But do not forget about the nuances described in my already mentioned last article.

This is some kind of bug, let’s play a second game!

I give! Battlefield V is characterized by a longer loading time, both the game itself and the levels. Maybe this will allow you to feel the difference between the disks more clearly.

All settings in the game are also turned to the right, and resolution scaling is set to 200% at a system resolution of 1440p. The game «eats off» in the first level of approximately 11.5 GB of RAM (together with the OS) and 7.6 GB of video memory. Results:

Battlefield V
	Game loading (seconds)	Loading level (seconds)
Toshiba TR200	36. 37	47.16
Plextor m8vc	30.90	48.19
PNY CS3030	35.79	38.73
Samsung 970 EVO	32.07	50.35
	smaller is better	smaller is better

Here comes the promised surprise! My favorite and favorite Samsung 970 EVO was only second when loading the game, losing two seconds to the SATA drive, and last when loading the level! And not just the last, but lost from three to twelve seconds to all other drives, including Toshiba on a frankly «dead» controller! Moving away from surprise, I decided to apply Trim to all the disks and let them cool down and «rest» for a while, and then repeated the tests. Nothing changed! The next three runs brought about the same average results.

I began to look for the reasons for this behavior of my «champion». I reinstalled the game on the Samsung (fortunately it’s mine). I ruled out throttling on both NVME drives, since in tests they worked with a rather massive heatsink installed on them and their temperature conditions were more than favorable. And games in reading mode do not create a significant load. I installed the standard driver on it. Nothing helped! The results changed within the margin of error, but the overall picture remained the same. Perhaps it’s all about connecting to the chipset lines on the AMD motherboard (the latest chipset driver is installed). But how then to explain that the PNY CS3030 connected to them became the absolute leader of the race in loading the level? Or maybe it’s just such a large error spread? No, I did a lot of runs. I wanted to run the same tests on the Intel platform, but it was not available, since my computer was disassembled for an upgrade.
