The test bench used for the experiment included an i7-14700K processor, an Arctic Cooling II 360 cooling system, a Z790 Giga Gaming .
The following SSDs were included in the test: Adata 960 Legend 2TB, Samsung PM9A1(980 Pro) 2TB, WD SN850X 2TB, Orico 7000 2TB, Fanxiang S880 2TB, Kingston NV2 1tb, Kingbank KP200 512gb, KingSpec NX-512 512gb, Kootion X15 Lite 512 GB, Crucial MX500 1 TB.
Games included Cyberpunk 2077 (loading game, loading save), RDR 2 (loading game in menu, loading save), Rust (loading game, loading Rustafied server – US mini), Forza 5 (loading). game, save loading), Stalker 2 (loading the game with the compilation of shaders, loading the save), PUBG (loading the game before the menu), Genshin Impact (loading the game and immediately the same entry into the game world), The Last Of Us part I (loading the save), Stellaris (loading + saving game).

It turns out that the loading speed of games actually hardly depends on the speed of the SSD. That is, a drive that is five times slower and cheaper than some other models will load everything in 18 seconds, not 15 seconds. And for most, this difference will become insignificant. So, if you buy an SSD for games, you can choose any NVMe drive that suits you according to its price.
