Notes:
- The SSDs you see in the graphs have been re-tested on a new platform. You cannot compare the numbers in this video with previous SSD reviews. I will have a full SSD comparison/roundup in the near future, or just ask for advice if you have questions.
- When I talk about real world performance impact, I'm talking about realistic (and common) consumer workloads: Loading Games, 1080p video editting, 4K video editting, Photoshop, Lightroom, etcetera. Of course it IS possible to show differences when working with huge 8K files for example. I try to be nuanced, but there is a limit :)
- Questions? Most test results make it into the video to avoid clutter, so just ask if anything is unclear!
