If the ssd is full does that affect the game at the fps (fortnite)?

Li

Depends on the ssd.

Yep
The game generates DirectX shader files and when the memory is full and there are no other hard drives in the PC, the game tends to crash.

Thank you have 1tb hdd with 600gb free and a 256gb ssd with 120gb free space do you think that's enough

ca

What does this have to do with the SSD?

.-. Every SSD stores the data in the same way, it makes no difference whether it is an M.2 SSD, a SATA SSD or a Pcie SSD.

ca

Yes that is enough.

However, I would not recommend storing games on such a small SSD at all. If you buy a larger SSD (500GB, 1TB), you can store your games there without any memory problems

co

Yes at the beginning all the games were saved on my ssd until i knew that haha

ca

256GB is really nothing.

Some smartphones even have more memory: |

Regardless of your question, it is advisable to always keep about 1/3 of the SSD free if it is your system disk (C: \).

And there comes the next one who just wants to be on the front.

where did I say that it is due to the design of the ssd? Nowhere!

What I meant:

SSDs need 15-20% free space to work efficiently. (You shouldn't partition this 15-20% at all)

If the ssd is full, nothing works properly. Often there are stutters.

Most manufacturers have taken precautions against this problem and are adding a bit more memory that can't be read by operating systems.

and it was related to the fact that it depends on the ssd.

Since you just front me without any idea what I'm talking about, I picked out a few more articles for you.

A small addendum. Not every ssd stores data the same way.

Always depends on the cache load etc.

If we talk here on a block or even page level, it is different for many SSD controllers.

Is simply due to the preferences of the manufacturer.
