Modern games install a serious chunk of storage. Call of Duty, Starfield, and Forza Horizon 5 each eat 80-150GB of space, and the Xbox Series X ships with only 1TB of internal storage. After the OS takes its cut, you are left with around 800GB for your library, which fills faster than most people expect. … Read more

Finding the best PCIe Gen 4 SSDs in felt harder than it should have been.

I remember the first time I plugged a PCIe Gen 5 SSD into my test bench. The synthetic benchmark numbers were jaw-dropping — over 14,000 MB/s sequential reads, nearly double what my Gen 4 drive could manage. But the real question on every builder’s mind in is still the same one I asked myself: does … Read more
