Mawson Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I wonder what the point is of using NVME M2 v SSD through SATA as when the sim is loading I notice in both P3D and XPlane 11 that all the threads pretty much max out while its loading and it appears to me that this constrains the data speed from the hard drives. I can't seem to get any difference in laoding times for a $750 NVME gaming M2 and a cheaper $250 SSD Sata drive. I am convinced there is no difference due to CPU constraints.

CZZ Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Is the PCIe your are using for the NVME M2 SSD PCIe 3x4? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=PCIe+3x4 The benefits of NVMe: NVMe drives have a latency of just a few microseconds, while SATA SSDs have latency in the 30-100 microsecond range. SATA-based SSDs top out around 550 MB/s, while NVMe drives can reach up to 3,500 MB/s on PCIe 3.0 https://techreport.com/blog/3467943/nvme-vs-ssd-test/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
