   Which SSD should I use?

   • Our recommendations cover both internal SSDs (NVMe picks listed first, SATA picks second) and external SSDs (listed last), with the latter largely being NVMe types in an enclosure on the end of a USB or Thunderbolt cable. Some older models are SATA internally, but those are increasingly rare. Why you should trust us: It’s in our name, PCWorld.

   What is the best SATA SSD for gaming?

   • The Crucial MX500 is the only SATA drive left on our list of the best SSDs for gaming, but it's still the best SATA SSD we can think of. When the price delta between PCIe and SATA is so small, if occasionally non-existent, it's difficult to make an argument for the far slower technology.

   Teamgroup T-Force A440 Lite: This PCIe 4.0 drive is a decent performer but it was only 14th overall out of a cohort of 21, and at times slower than it’s less expensive sibling, the T-Force G50 below.

   T-Force G50: If you’re looking to stretch your SSD dollar, this drive should be on your short list. It’s an inexpensive, solid performing PCIe 4.0 drive for everyday tasks.

   Kingston NV3: This PCIe 4.0 SSD is proof that DRAM-less drives, meaning those that use a Host Memory Buffer (HMB) as cache, can offer competitive performance, while also saving the consumer some mo...

   NVMe or SATA

   Only look for SATA if your computer or device doesn’t support the far, far faster NVMe. Note that an M.2 slot in an older computer might be mSATA rather than NVMe. Read your user guide or manual to see if it’s NVMe-capable/NVMe-bootable. It should be both to take full advantage of NVMe.

   DRAM or HMB

   Some SSDs use DRAM for primary caching and faster random ops, while others forego the cost of DRAM and use a technique called host memory buffer (HMB). HMB does just what it sounds like, employs your computer’s memory for primary caching. After a rough start, HMB has developed marvelous sequential transfer performance, though as hinted at — random ops still lag behind the DRAM designs. If you want the best overall, and especially random performance, then you want a DRAM design. You’ll pay for...

   TLC or QLC

   NAND is available in TLC (Triple Level Cell/3-bit) and QLC (Quad Level Cell/4-bit) flavors including a variety of sub-types. Thanks to a secondary caching technique of writing either of these types of NAND as older SLC (Single-Layer Cell/1-bit/far less error-checking required), there’s little difference in top speed — as long as there’s enough NAND allotted for the caching chore. There generally is unless you write a truly huge amount of data at once, such as in our 450GB write test. When wri...

   Beyond IP rating (ruggedness), style, and portability, all you need to consider for an external SSD is the bus it runs on. USB 5Gbps (3.x) SSDs are limited to 550MBps, 10Gbps USB SSDs (3.1) top out at 1GBps, 20GBps USB (USB 3.2×2 or USB4) at 2GBps, and 40Gbps USB (USB4) at somewhere over 3GBps.
