Forspoken is out, and while the performance is horrible, the game loads in 1 second over DirectStorage. This is INCREDIBLE! I wanna see every game using DirectStorage going forward; no excuses. I saw a video of someone testing DirectStorage on a SATA SSD and a HDD as well as DigitalFoundry saying something about testing SATA SSDs, but none of this makes sense to me. Not one of my SATA SSDs support DirectStorage, so I was wondering why they're saying that. Then looked around and found this quote from a Microsoft spokesperson in June 2021: Source: https://petri.com/microsoft-details-hard...indows-11/ That means you cannot benefit from DirectStorage with an NVMe drive running PCIe 3.0 or higher. This makes sense because DirectStorage is a direct PCIe connection from your GPU to the NVMe storage unit. You can run SATA or SAS over PCIe, but it doesn't provide the raw bandwidth necessary; therefore, those methods are unsupported.
