Disclosure
This video is sponsored by Seasonic. They asked if I wanted to make an educational video on how to pick the right SSD and use some of their products to showcase the features I wanted to talk about. They didn't tell me what to say or not to say, or anything else, the content is entirely my own opinion on how I think you should go about picking your next PSU.
Amazon links I provide are (typically) affiliate links. Using these does not cost you anything at all. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means they do provide me with a small commission when you decide to buy a product, at no cost to you.
