External SSDs work well for gaming and deliver a far better experience than external hard drives, though their real-world performance depends on your device’s interface and platform. For PCs and handheld gaming devices with USB 3.2 Gen 2 or faster ports, external SSDs produce no noticeable frame rate drops.
Write amplification is a phenomenon exclusive to SSD storage. Simply put, when your computer sends a write request to an SSD, the total amount of physical data written to the NAND flash chips is larger than the logical data requested by the operating system.
1TB of physical RAM is fully achievable with current semiconductor technology, but it is almost never used in regular home personal computers. Mainstream consumer PCs are limited by the hardware specifications, meaning they cannot natively support 1TB of RAM.
AI is driving up global SSD prices, as AI training and inference create far more enterprise storage demand than the traditional consumer market. And storage makers prioritize high-margin AI orders, squeezing consumer SSD supply and pushing retail prices higher.
CXL works like an “external expansion system” for memory, allowing servers or workstations to flexibly add large amounts of external memory via dedicated cables and expansion cards, and even let multiple machines share a common memory pool.
