One of the biggest advances that the video game industry has made in the generation that we have just released is the super-reduced loading times. And is that not everything is resolution or frames per second; the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft have placed a particular emphasis on reducing loading screens, and this inevitably happens through the use of NVMe storage drives. Something that PC gamers have known for a long time.
And increase the speed of video games, as well as our entire gaming team, it doesn’t always have to be expensive. Especially thanks to offers like this discounted Western Digital SSD: we can take it home for just 85.99 euros, its historic low price on Amazon.
We refer to the Western Digital SN550 Blue in its 1 TB model. One high-performance M.2 NVMe formatted storage drive that, at this price, results from the best options on the market in relation to quality and price. Because for less than 100 euros we gain speed and space to install a lot of games.

After the Black series, the next best SSD family from WD is the Blue, which is designed to get the most out of our games (as well as any other application). What added to the M.2 NVMe form factor it translates into a read speed of up to 2,400MB / second and perfect performance.
To this day, few better alternatives occur to us with which to give our games an extra speed, with this capacity and at a lower cost. Although yes, before getting an NVMe we must make sure that the motherboard of our desktop PC or gaming laptop has a free M.2 bay and that it is compatible with the 2280 format of this WD Blue.
