It makes a massive difference having a good drive in your machine!Īlways run your system drive from an SSD, and use HDDs cheap storage. I wrote an article on CPUs and overall performance using Cinebench and Passmark which gives good relative system performance comparisons. shows how other peoples similar systems compare.

Search for SSD / HDD on there to find out the latest tech. ![]() Linus Tech Tips on YouTube is an excellent resource.

High performance maintained as the drive fills with data. High read and write performance at small capacity points. High simultaneous read and write performance. Here is the latest Crucial SSD release giving an idea of where we are today Workload Here are some of the primary advantages of the Intel Optane 900p compared to current NAND flash storage. Wow - this is insanely fast compared to my SATA SSD So this seems like a better option than using a SATA SSD (I could be wrong here but worth experimenting with - See this PCWorld Article for more detail). Glotrends PCIE NVMe Adapter Card PCIE GEN3 Full Speed for PC Desktop The motherboard didn’t support x3 lanes, but even so with x2 lanes he was getting an impressive 1600 MB/s If you’ve an old desktop, even a 14 year old motherboard (as my good friend has done) you can put in an M.2 NVMe drive using a PCI Express adapter. Notice it is 5 times the speed of the best HDD’s I have! PCI Express to M.2 NVMe This is interesting - the perf of a relatively new HDD hasn’t improved a lot. ![]() HDD - 8 years oldĬame with my XPS17 laptop (had dual ones of this drive) HDD - 5 years oldĤTB Western Digital inside a fast desktop.
