davenicoll Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi Guys, I am now starting to plan my PC upgrade.. As Orbx can now go on another drive outside of the simulator I am after advice/suggestions Should I get a M.2 PCIE express drive of 500gb and put the operating system and Prepar3d v5 on plus a 2tb SSD for all my Orbx stuff plus others. Or a 250gb M.2 PCI ssd for the operating system plus another 2gb one for my flight sim Thank you Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hello, without a doubt, the M2 is much faster but whether to use them is really a matter of choice.. My own motherboard can only accommodate two M2s. With two, three SATA ports are disabled, usually out of six. Not all motherboards are the same and not all users require as many SATA ports. I need 9 and the M2, so that may be a special case. I use an additional four port SATA card to achieve this. I use a 240 GB standard SSD for the operating system and one 1 TB M2 for the simulators. The operating system loads very quickly in any case. The simulators load much more quickly on the M2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenicoll Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thank you... The build, although slow is now gathering pace. I now have a Gigabyte Z390 Pro motherboard and am coupling that with an i9 9900KF processor (on it's way) I think like you Nick, I will keep my 128gb SSD with windows already installed for the time being. As the Motherboard has only 2 M.2 slots I will go for a 2tb for Prepar3d v.5 plus all my Prepard3d add ons including Orbx. I will have another dedicated M.2 1tb for the upcoming Microsoft 2020 All this encased in a Be Quiet pro 900 Rev.1 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
