Faster loading, smoother asset streaming, and better general system responsiveness.
Storage guidance should be treated as a practical readiness check, not a confirmed FPS improvement claim.
Hardware guide
SSD Upgrade Guide
Use this page when a readiness result points away from HDD storage. An SSD can improve loading and streaming behavior, but it does not replace a weak GPU or CPU.
Best use
Check the label first
FrameReady separates official, predicted, inferred, rumor, outdated, and unknown claims. A predicted result should not be treated like a confirmed requirement.
When to compare options
- Your result says storage is the main weak point.
- The game or platform guidance expects SSD storage.
- Your PC still runs games from a hard drive.
When to wait
- Your result points to GPU, CPU, or RAM first.
- You already run games from an SSD or NVMe drive.
- You need more evidence before spending on a larger drive.
Compatibility checks
- SATA or M.2 NVMe slot availability.
- Drive size and free space.
- Motherboard PCIe generation for NVMe drives.
- Backup plan before moving game libraries.
