DirectStorage API

The DirectStorage API is a technology from Microsoft that allows games and applications to load data—like textures and assets—more efficiently directly from your NVMe SSD. This reduces wait times and improves performance by bypassing traditional bottlenecks in the CPU and storage system. Essentially, it enables faster, smoother gaming experiences by allowing your system to stream large amounts of data quickly and seamlessly, leading to shorter loading screens and more detailed graphics without overloading your hardware.
