Storage Buying Guide
Choosing storage in Pakistan is now primarily about speed with **NVMe SSDs** becoming the standard for boot drives. An **NVMe M.2 SSD** (PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5) can be 20 to 50 times faster than a traditional hard drive, significantly reducing windows boot times and game loading screens. However, for mass storage of movies, photos, and large files, traditional **HDDs (Hard Disk Drives)** still offer the best cost-per-GB value.
Check your motherboard's compatibility: older boards might only support **SATA SSDs**, which are still much faster than HDDs but significantly slower than NVMe. For professionals doing video editing or high-end gaming, look for SSDs with an integrated **DRAM Cache**, which helps maintain high speeds during large file transfers. Brands like **Samsung (980/990 Pro), Western Digital (Black/Blue), Kingston, and Crucial** are the most reliable available locally.
External storage is also essential for backups. **Portable SSDs** (like the Samsung T7) offer fast transfer speeds for working directly off the drive, while **External HDDs** are perfect for long-term archiving. Always ensure your portable drive uses **USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2)** to take full advantage of modern speeds.

Storage FAQ
SATA SSDs max out at around 550MB/s, while modern NVMe SSDs can reach speeds of 3,500MB/s (Gen 3) to over 10,000MB/s (Gen 5). NVMe is the better choice for any modern PC build.
For a basic office PC, 256GB-512GB is enough. For a gaming PC, 1TB is the recommended minimum as modern games can take up over 100GB each. Professionals should aim for 2TB or more of fast NVMe storage.
Yes, because they have no moving parts, making them resistant to physical shocks and vibrations. HDDs are more fragile and can fail if the PC is moved while the disk is spinning.
TBW is a rating that tells you how much data can be written to the SSD before the memory chips start to wear out. High-end drives have much higher TBW ratings, making them better for heavy professional use.
