Best SSD for gaming

NVMe vs SATA, Gen3 vs Gen4, and how much capacity you actually need.

Quick answer

For most gaming PCs in India, a 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe (M.2 2280) is the sweet spot.

Confirm your motherboard has an M.2 slot

Gen4 needs a Gen4-capable slot for full speed

1TB leaves room for Windows + several large games

Prefer drives with clear warranty (3–5 years)
