That would be CPU, RAM and GPU.
See this review [techspot.com] for a good comparison. Scroll down to game load times. Notice that all the SSDs are within a second or two of each other, but the HDD which has ~100 MB/s reads take much longer? Also notice that the NVME drives are clearly faster than the SATA SSDs, which also have their read speeds capped by the SATA interface.
So in summary, it's read performance that matters for load times, but once you get to Gen3 PCIe speeds, you get some really serious diminishing returns. You can spend 2X as much, but you'll load in 15.1 seconds instead of 15.4 seconds. How much is your gaming time worth?

Yes.
One of the top 3 generally more value focused brands, plus we are at a point on Gen 4 where you basically have to try to cheap out so much you make a bad drive, it's pretty much equally likely to get bad firmware on a well known brand as it is to get a bad drive from a brand like Teamgroup. We see all the components they are using from other companies and they are solid pairings. With NVMe's & RAM it's really just a handful of companies that everyone buys from to put their combinations together. So don't worry it doesn't say Samsung, Western Digital (which is what I own, SN770, & love it), Corsair, etc. Heck, the Kingston NV2 is a dice roll on possibly getting one of the worst Gen 4 drives on the market.
And yes there are still tiers, an extra $30-40 can get you an editors choice tier drive. So that's always your call.
And for the PS5 crowd, having two different cooling options is a nice option.
Well said! A bad NVME is rare period. However with data, is a fail rate of 0.3 v 0.6 worth $30 more? Perhaps. However ,there aren't enough statistics to know which they are yet for these gen 4.
Look at sata 2.5 ssd AFR and popular brands like crucial have higher average fail rates, though minimal still.
If a drive doesn't fail in first few days, it will last for a few years. After year 2-4 is where AFR tend to spike across all models.
In the end, whether be 0.3% chance of even 1%, both are too high to risk losing data you don't want to lose. Backups backups backups folks!
I've had a 1tb version of this for over a year in a usb 3.2 external and I've put it to a lot of work. Zero problems.
I've had a 2tb samsung external for 2 months, and it's dead as a doornail.
I've also had nearly zero problems with Western Digital.
Samsung isn't king anymore. They depleted their quality assurance to gain more profits.
That would be CPU, RAM and GPU.
Git gud usually helps a lot as well
As a computer engineer, you're spot on. Computer Architecture also suggests that you get an NVME with high TBW or else you can get stuck in games while your teammates keep on writing onto their drives...

Sony recommends drives with read speeds of 5,500 or faster. In a pc, in gaming, I can't tell the difference between a gen3 drive at 3500 and my 990 pro at 7300. Transferring between two nvme drives is where you see the difference.
That price is available again on Amazon from the manufacturer.. At the $101.99 price point (heatsink included & 5yr warranty), with excellent reviews from respected sites, I just had to pull the trigger.
