In reply to Anon. Absolutely agree! Looking forward to seeing insane speeds in a very small 2230 form factor very soon! Who knows, maybe in CES 2026 we will see these SSds already!

I agree, noticed it too. I believe the author meant to say “faster loading times” instead of “increased loading times”.

As an example, Diablo IV (the game I play) support Microsoft DirectStorage, therefore leading to faster loading times. (Although Diablo IV had issues with DirectStorage before, the problem appeared to been fixed now).

There is an error in the MS direct storage section, it says [“increasing” game load times], but I would have thought the author meant to say [“decreasing” game load times].

Ref:
As our Corsair MP700 Micro 4TB SSD is MS DirectStorage compatible, we thought we might take advantage of the 3DMark DirectStorage Feature Test and see how this SSD fared. MS DirectStorage, in very basic terms, allows direct transfer of data from your SSD storage directly to your GPU, eliminating its historical necessary passage from the SSD through the CPU to RAM, back through the CPU and finally to the GPU VRAM. This is, for the most part at this time, intended on [increasing game load times],reducing CPU overhead and providing more detailed graphics.

It is now only a matter of time until we will see PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs in a 2230 form factor soon! Hopefully, by 2026! Insane out of the world speeds in a small form factor!
