In what ways is a bigger SSD faster than a smaller one?

[SeriousGaming101]

If you have 2 SSDs:

1. MX500 250GB SSD
2. MX500 1TB SSD

I have heard that the bigger storage SSD is faster than the smaller one, but I don't know exactly in what ways. On paper, both should have a read/write speed of 560MB/510MB, so does the 1TB version go above this norm? The 250GB version go below this normal speed?

Exactly in what ways is the 1TB version faster than the 250GB model? Do you get more gaming FPS on the 1TB?

Drive speed really doesn't equate to more FPS. To get more FPS, GPU and CPU pay a much bigger part. Drive speed affect loading times - the games and levels will load faster - minimizing the time you sit and stare at a loading screen.

Here's what crucial says in a footnote regarding the listed speeds for all the MX500 capacities:
"1. Based on the published specs of the 1TB model. Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary."

You can look at Tomshardware's review of the MX500 to see performance differences between different sizes.

Which drive you get will have no effect on FPS.

SSD will not add one single FPS to your games. It will only make games load faster.

Here is an interesting discussion on the issue of SSD read/write performance vs. drive capacity.
