Solid State Drives (SSD) save game and level loading times for gamers and give many apps a noticeable performance boost over using Hard Disk Drives (HDD). SSD pricing continues to soften, and last month Team Group sent us their T-FORCE 500GB Vulcan SATA SSD for evaluation.

BTR uses two identical 480GB Team Group L5 LTE SSDs as boot drives – one for AMD and one for NVIDIA – together with a 1.92 TB SanDisk SSD and a 2 TB Micron 1100 SSD for our primary game storage. In addition, we use a 2 TB Seagate FireCuda Solid State Hard Drive (SSHD) for additional storage.
