PC Gaming is still considered the pinnacle of gaming as it enables one to play compelling games seamlessly; hence it is very evident that most of the professional players opt for PC gaming over console or mobile games. It creates more lifelike visuals, superior accuracy with peripherals, and greater ability to modify games.

But considering the substantial install sizes of modern games, it is very crucial to have access to the best SSD for any modern gaming PC build. It is a known fact that a lousy storage device can impact the overall gaming performance of the rig. In fact, the next-generation gaming PCs have also incorporated SSD based storage, which explains the importance of faster storage solutions. 

NVMe SSDs are the new standard of storage drive. Games such as Destiny 2, Modern Warfare, and Red Dead Redemption 2, take up well over 150GB each, which implies that it needs a lot of storage space. Hence, to make room for the new games, the gamers have to delete the old games, which is an agonizing decision for them. Moreover, it is remarkable that NVMe SSDs helps the games to boot two to three times faster the installation on a traditional hard drive. The games will not only load faster; there will be no wastage of time on loading screens from the game’s menu to the game itself. It will be a testimony to all the gamers as they will notice how much faster their games load compared to other players’ when playing online. Gaming is all about speed and adrenalin rush, so NVMe SSDs truly help enhance the experience and make it limitless. 

Additionally, installation times are also significantly reduced. SSDs, in general, can’t make downloading games any faster but they do install and store them in your storage system quickly and efficiently, especially when using an NVMe SSD. Even if one is not playing, they will still benefit from NVMe SSDs, whether they are loading their operating system, transferring files or opening other applications. This is perfect if one is planning on streaming their gaming experience and creating content. An NVMe SSD will benefit one’s games, streaming and video production software, as well as the footage and images they will need to create. 

Another important aspect is the fact that NVMe minimizes hitching – minute stutters that often occur when entering a new location. NVMe helps the developers to design their games without having to work around data transfer constraints. Not only this, but NVMe also offer blazing fast read and write speeds that can improve the performance of the games tremendously. All these attributes to enhance the overall operating system experience. With high endurance and security, better management tools and faster speed, NVMe is the much sought-after solid-state drives for Notebooks and Desktop PCs across the globe. 

Interestingly, the NVMe SSD offers added advantage of superior storage, superior speed and superior compatibility, by transferring faster and more data than the SATA SSDs. All this make for a tremendous gaming experience and hence the reason for professional gamers queueing up for NVMe SSDs like Kingston A2000 for its unmatched value, and Kingston KC2500 SSD for its extremely efficient performance. This year we have seen explosive growth, and robust demand for the NVMe SSDs and our Q3 2020 monthly average increase is about 7X. The A2000 SSD can attain read/write speeds over 2200/2000 MB/s and is ideal for Ultra-books and small form factors. At the same time, the KC2500 SSD can reach input/output speeds over 3500/2900 MB/s using the latest Gen 3.0 x 4 controller, which could transport the gamer to an altogether new level of gaming. Both these NVMe SSDs target the MMORPG, racing, action, adventure and RPG games and are available at incredibly attractive price options. All this has undoubtedly provided a shot in the arm to the Indian gamer to up his performance by several notches.  

To sum it all, the stride at which the gamers and game developers are focusing on creating a perfect confluence of storage integrations with gaming technology reflects that high-end gaming will grow further in leaps and bounds. It is certain that to provide limitless gaming experience; it is pivotal to integrate best in class storage solutions like NVMe SSDs for its low latency, capacity, performance and speed. With the gaming industry entering a new era, the future of gaming is undeniably intertwined with providing best in class storage solutions. ENDS
