Microsoft, which is preparing to bring the fast boot and load times, one of the biggest developments of the new generation consoles, to the PC platform with DirectStorage technology, will ensure that the compressed game data copied to the system memory is transferred directly to the video card memory without being opened.
Requires special firmware
The SSD requirements of the technology, which was originally designed for Windows 10 but made special for Windows 11 with a sudden change of decision, are slowly starting to come to light.
