You want to take The Warrior of Light and comrades to the war torn region of Gyr Abania but slow storage delays your journey. Today we find the best SSD for gaming by looking at 125 products including many classics that you likely already own.

It's the age old story. Slow load times make gaming less exciting. The story plays out across platforms and game modes. As graphics quality increases, so does the amount of data required for virtual worlds. The data has to come from your storage system but not all storage is the same.

The first online game to focus attention on the storage system was Battlefield 3. When released no one had heard of a SSD. The Western Digital Raptor series with 10,000 RPM platters was the fastest consumer storage drive and a must have for gamers. A single drive would get you in the game quickly and in most clans that might mean getting in a jet before others on your team.
