With Samsung’s proprietary V-NAND flash memory technology, Samsung SSDs offer high capacities, blazing-fast speeds and exceptional reliability. SSDs achieve significantly higher data transfer speeds compared to hard disk drives (HDDs) and as a result, gamers experience a reduction in load times and fewer game lags, so gamers spend more time playing and less time waiting. The power efficiency and high endurance of Samsung SSDs ensure smooth and continuous performance during game play. Samsung offers a variety of SSDs in different form factors and capacities to fit any gamer’s storage needs.

Quantum Dot-Enabled Curved Gaming Monitors Provide Stunning Visual Experience 

The integration of quantum dot technology enables the CFG70 (available in 24 and 27 inch) and CF791(34-inch) Curved Gaming Monitors to display an incredible range of vivid and crisp colors, providing greater depth to blacks, sharpening color intricacies and increasing the nuances of game play. Both monitors leverage AMD FreeSync Technology over HDMI to synchronize screen refresh rates with users’ AMD graphics cards. This compatibility reduces input latency, stutter and lag to produce a uniform full-screen game display. Furthermore, each monitor features an exceptional curvature (1,500R for the CF791 and 1,800R for the CFG70), which envelops users to create the feeling that they’re part of the game.
