Disclosure
This video is sponsored by Corsair. 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 SSD.
