Windows 11 Directstorage is a boon for gaming PCs, and a variety of API-optimized SSDs have emerged. Designed by Sabrent, the Rocket Plus G Gen 4 drives will bring console-style fast boot capabilities to Microsoft Windows computers, helping you put your productivity first.
Designed to achieve windows 11 Directstorage, the Sabrent Rocket Plus G Gen 4 line of SSDs will arrive before games that will use the API, such as Square Enix’s upcoming Forspoken RPG. The company claims that the new boot method and its optimized firmware will push the player’s performance to “unprecedented heights” and also limit “buggy playback.”
Forspoken will be the first game to support Windows 11 Directstorage, but we’ll have to wait until 2023 to see the technology in action. By removing the CPU as the middle man, the API can allow your graphics card to pull everything it needs directly from RAM, ultimately speeding up the process of loading data onto your big, fancy gaming monitor.
Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus G SSDs start at $169.99 for 1TB, and capacities can go up to 4TB. The latter option will set you back $699.99, so it’s safe to say that this PC investment isn’t for the faint of heart. Naturally, it’s possible to buy a standard Gen 4 SSD for a lot less, but if you’re anticipating a future-facing rig that will end up with an RTX 4000 GPU and other expensive PC reels, it might be worth considering.
Storage Direct is just one of the benefits of Windows 11, and additional features like Auto HDR help improve dealing with the operating system. However, you may be hesitant to join the new OS if you fear change as Microsoft prepares to ship Windows Control Panel to the same retirement home as Internet Explorer. Even the latest versions of gaming PC platform cards are being reported, as Windows 12 appears to be the company’s focus in 2024.
