The high capacity and powerful performance SSD is born for games

SSD has already had a good performance in reducing games loading time, with the popularization of high capacity SSD, many users plan to update platform. After all, starting the game directly, reading files in the game, moving quickly and reducing loading time can extremely bring pleasure. Nowadays, there are many SSDs advertising themselves born for games. So how to choose SSD correctly.

Games files is bigger, SSD capacity must be higher.

Today the capacity of various 3A games data packet is big. This year there are many 3A games coming line in succession with above 20GB capacity or even close to 100GB. If you want to play large games with rapid speed,  SSD can be directly as a game cartridge. So it is not necessary to prepare a SSD with large capacity. In addition, if you also need do some videos or professional applications, large-capacity SSDs will not feel short of capacity shortage very soon in use.

Moreover, SSD service life can be longer, because the rewritable and rereading opportunity and times are less in single flash particle. In other side, the performance is more reasonable in this capacity interval SSD. Today there is only the best performance data of some SSDs in sale. In practice, users tend to discover that a lot of small capacity SSDs are inferior than the large-capacity one. The practical performance is more stable, when the SSD capacity is above 480GB. Which is more able to withstand the possibility of not slowing down with unobvious gap of application function.
Therefore, the capacity from 490GB to 1TB is more reasonable in playing games. It not only has more stable speed but also has affordable price.

The application of radiators is critical.

We all know that the temperature of the M.2 interface in latest X570 motherboard platform is very high. There is a big radiator in the PCIE 4.0 SSD currently on the market, even if it is still very hot in the use process. Therefore, many PCIe 3.0 SSD begin to use radiator.  After all, M.2 SSD brings more powerful function to users, while its calorific value becomes higher. It is easy to accumulate heat when it integrates so many high-performance components in a narrow space.


The most important is to attach importance to SSD performance.

No matter how cool the external design is, how wonderful the radiator propaganda is. If you really want to improve SSD experience in playing games, you should see the performance of SSD itself. Today what I want to share with you is WD BLACK SN750 Majia Edition M.2 SSD.

The basic information of WD BLACK SN750 Majia Edition: 1TB capacity, M.2 interface, SanDisk 20-82-00700-A1 host, flash memory with SanDisk 05560 512GB flash memory particles, cache with 1GB external cache, NVMe 1.3 transport protocols.

WD BLACK SN750 Majia Edition applies single-sided PCB design with two flash memory to form a 1TB capacity. It is worth mentioning here not only its radiator, but also the master control which is a self-developed three-core master control system. In order to improve SSD performance, SanDisk has designed an optimized architecture for BiCS flash memory, which mainly optimizes the client workload including PC games and high-performance commercial applications. What exactly is the performance? Let look the data!

WD BLACK specializes in electronic games. The most concerned is SSD performance in playing games. If you can monitor the performance of SSD at any time, will it be easier to manage your own game data? WD BLACK SN750 Majia Edition can also use WD BLACK SSD Dashboard software, which can see the state of SSD, performance and some tools like firmware update, erase hard disk, diagnosis and so on, and it is designed for WD BLACK SN750 series SSD.

With this software, we can monitor the SSD's speed, real-time temperature and remaining time in the process of playing games or other applications at any time, so we can prepare in advance. Of course, before and after the game mode is opened, the transmission speed will also has a little difference.


From the test results, WD BLACK SN750 Majia Edition’s 4K random writing speed increased after opening games mode. In the game process, we often need to load several screens and do some mobile switching actions. In this process, there are many scattered small files written and loaded by SSD, and the loading time also determines the fluency and efficiency of screen loading. After opening the game mode, the speed of 4K writing is increased by more than 10%, which can effectively improve the game experience. It also shows that the performance of SSD can be maintained at a high level under a certain degree of temperature control.

Summary: you need this SSD with radiator and powerful performance, when you play games.

Users should pay attention to SSD capacity, performance and temperature control, when they choose SSD. Firstly, users can chose high-capacity SSD from 400GB to 1TB as far as possible for its more stable performance. Next, select SSD with faster 4K random writing speed in game mode, so that the loading speed of game playing and professional application materials can be fully improved to ensure that high performance is always maintained in use. The most important is to pay attention to the product's quality assurance time.
