    Gaming is one of the things that people love to do. Gone are the days when gaming is only done by actual gamers. Right now, people love playing different games for fun. Playing games can be their way of relaxing after a long day at work. Still, it can be frustrating to play when your favorite games do not run as smoothly as you want. 

    The Two options available for you when you are choosing the right gaming computer. You can choose one that contains Optane memory or choose the one that is equipped with SSD. How can you possibly choose when you do not know anything about these things? You can continue reading to learn more details.

    What is Intel Optane Memory?

    Intel Optane Memory comes from a memory called 3D X Point. With this type of technology, it will be easier for people to maximize the HDD so that the performance will be equal to SSD. This type of option is available for people who would like to have high speed but do not want to spend too much money.

    What is SSD?

    SSD stands for Solid-State Drive. This may seem similar to the HDD but it will have the ability to store memory without the need to be powered on all the time. SDD is considered to be a faster alternative to a hard disk. It’s much faster speed is one of the reasons why people may choose this for gaming. Some games will require a lot of memory and SDD will be able to provide that.

    Intel Optane Memory vs SSD

    Optane Memory will make use of the advanced 3D XPoints Technology more. This means that the reading speed will be much higher as compared to that of SSD. When it comes to the writing speed, Optane Memory and SSD are almost the same.

    People usually choose to depend on the price and Optane Memory is considered to be more affordable as compared to SSD. Optane can be the option that people want if they would like to improve the hard drive performance of the computer without spending too much.

    If you would like to make sure that you will be getting the speed that you want regardless of the money that you are going to spend, then you can choose SSD. This is still considered by professionals to be the most ideal. Do remember that the type of computer that you have and the other accessories that you will use will also be factors in which one you should pick.

    When Should You Purchase Intel Optane?

    You should buy Intel Optane when you need something that will provide large capacity storage with a faster-operating speed. This is best for:

    • People who would like to operate their business right from their own homes. Since you need to spend more money on other things that are related to your business, Intel Optane will already be ideal.
    • If you are a designer or a gamer, this can still be good for you. It will provide the speed that you need for the software, applications, and games that you will use.
    • Personal users at home. If you want a computer that you can use at home that will still be fast enough for your different needs, Intel Optane can already be sufficient.

    When Should You Get SSD?

    If you would like the ultimate experience when it comes to the reading and writing abilities of your hard drive, this is still the best choice. It will provide a truly unmatched speed. You may also want to choose SSD when you know that your computer will not match the capacity needed by Intel Optane. If that’s persuaded you, have a look at the best available in 2020 here.

    If you would like to upgrade from using HDD to SDD, this is also possible. Some applications are available that will allow you to migrate the data that you have from HDD to SSD.

    Choosing the Right One for Gaming

    Any of the two can be perfect for gaming but most gamers would probably choose Intel Optane because this is more cost-effective. At the same time, it can provide the type of speed that you need to play your favorite games properly. Hopefully, you have gained a better understanding of the two to help you make the best choice.
