I just boosted my NVMe to 15k read and 29k write with RAM cache just for gaming and all the stutter I had when loading new areas disappeared. I used to have frame drops in games with big open worlds while driving/riding around but that is also gone. I can max all settings in 1440p + enable ray tracing at medium on a 2080S and i9-10900k at 4.8GHz now in Watch Dogs Legion, before I had to run a mix of medium and high settings or it would stutter like crazy and the FPS would drop all the time. It's completely locked to my monitor's refresh rate now. No drops at all. That's what an insane read/write will do for you :-) I've moved on to only NVMe:s and will never go back. SATA SSDs are a thing of the past imo :-P

[@pixels_per_inch]

Anyone saying it's "Overkill" or "noticed no differences" probably has a low end or midrange system that honestly won't benefit from it. When I upgraded from a SATA to an NVMe it was very noticeable (contrary to popular belief), Windows boot and shutdown way faster and apps open twice as fast.

[@UnboxTheWorldASMR]

"parallelizing" Thank you for using that word, it made me smile.

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

for anyone interested about game load times - it wont load most games faster than a sata3 ssd with 100k iops. ive tested a ramdisk thats 40x faster than a samsung 840 pro and load times were within ~1 second of each other. the bottleneck becomes the single thread performance of your cpu. cpu used was a 3930k at 4.6ghz

[@SoLaR27]

I hate when people expect their games to load 10x faster with an SSD (while it might actually happen in some cases) rather than a HDD and get disappointed since they don't realize a lot of the load lies on the processor.

[@Quarker]

There's a noticeable improvement from HDD load times to SSD load times. After I moved NFS Rivals onto my SSD (a game with horrible loading times), my waiting time was almost halved.

[@SoLaR27]

+Quarker It all depends on the game, really.

[@TheRealEZOverdose]

Quarker exaggerate the situation and imagine pairing an ssd with a 386 machine from 20 years ago. there would probably be no difference between ssd and hdd load time. you might be able to see this exaggeration by changing maximum processor state in power options to downclock your pc extremely low. remember if you test this you need to do it after a reboot because once you load a game once the majority of the scene is cached in ram and will load much faster the 2nd time skewing any results

[@0cards0]

Would be so nice to click a link in the description and have Wendell start covering the logic behind NVMe and then Ryan talking about ... well, no one listens to Ryan anyway, so it doesn't matter (kidding of course). Ahhh, so much potential within these channels is being left of the table because of a lack of collaboration.

[@peoplez129]

The problem with the latest M.2 speed drives is they have very limited write cycles, and since you're probably using such a fast drive to write lots of data quickly, you're going to go over that limit blazingly fast...then you're left with a very expensive read only drive. Sure, most people could probably write a copy of windows to it, some common programs, and some games here and there and all would probably be fine. But you don't really need GB/s to do that, any normal SSD will be more than fast enough for that. When I bought my first SSD years ago, it was about $80 for 128GB. Now SSD's are down to about 50 cent per gigabyte. Soon they'll be even cheaper and faster.....so I'd recommend anyone to hold off on buying any SSD's unless they absolutely need them, because in 2 years time, SSD's are going to be dirt cheap and even faster.

You might want to start putting small fades(like 1 frame or even less) at the start and the end at all of your audio files. When an audio file start or end in the middle of a wave it will make a clipping sound and that is a recurring problem in your videos.

[@jankowalski-ec8yo]

Perfect explaining about ACHI Mode

[@TheGreatBambino]

So I have a serious question. If on paper NVME is waaay better than AHCI then why when it comes to real world performance (particularly boot times and load times) NVME M.2 drives are kind of a hard sell since they are more expensive than SSD's and the boot and load times for NVME M.2's are if anything just 1 or 2 seconds faster than SSD's? Is it because of speed limitations in the OS and in the game engines? I think this is a good question for Techquickie but I'm interested in what everyone has to say.

[@vivekgupta7162]

I think, at that point, the boot time is limited by other components, This is the fastest your PC can boot with virtually no bottleneck in storage. Consider your CPU and other components take 10 seconds to process all boot instructions, while your SATA SSD takes 4 seconds to provide data, Result: 14 second boot time. Now CPU and other components still take 10 seconds, but the NVME takes 1 second to get data, Result 11 second boot time. Also, booting might not be the most expensive operation, it might not fill up the request queue of AHCI. NVME will excel in really hard time, when requests are more than what AHCI can handle at the same time. Consider a time where your system experiences very high load (There are times like that for about 4 seconds), Even with SSD's you will get some slowdown, This is where an NVME will easily outperform AHCI.

[@temp50]

When an OS is booting it is initializing all of the devices of your computer. It is done by drivers. Unfortunately there are a lot of idle time during this time because some hardware just simple too slow to answer the requests. But the OS needs to wait for these answers which are usually init values for the specific hw drivers.

[@austinsummersofficial631]

mraustin3410 Dude, you're missing the point of these drives. If all you're trying to do is boot a few seconds faster and run games then these drives just arnt really for you. At least not now..I've got two computers, one main desktop and one alienware laptop..both have 960 Pro nvme 1tb drives in them. Why? Because the difference it gives me for doing audio engineering work, loading virtual instrument samplers, and video and media work is ridiculously faster. It's a complete night and day difference, it's the difference between me getting frustrated with trying to work and me just being able to do the work without noticing an issue with lag time and etc etc etc. Especially on big projects with 60 to 80+ channels running at once. These drives are a godsent.

[@iaial0]

AustinSummersOfficial The slo mo guys have a video explaining that. A playback of a high bitrate video from a SATA SSD and from a NVMe SSD. For how fast the SATA drive was there was no way it didn't buffer after some seconds. That's pure read speed difference.

So if NVMe takes advantage of technology like the PCI bus, when you have something like say a RAID Card, does this also take advantage of the PCI bus for the drives, even though they are still connected via a SATA III plug?

[@Pursuit918]

You know what else doesn't support NVME drives? My "new" late 2015 Alienware 17 R3... Oh well, I just opted for a 1TB SSD after I sent my NVME PCI-E SSD back. Not many updates yet on it but once they add support I'll go grab one because even though I couldn't get it as a a boot drive I did get it to work in OS. The read/writes were awesome, and I need that in my life.

[@staresce]

I want to find an ssd that helps fix the problem ssd has of overwriting damaging ssd memory and making the ssd wear out . Does the new ssd pcie nvme help fix that issue?

[@Native7i]

so does that means nvme m2 drive works on my (gigabyte z97 G3) m2 port? Does it only works as data storage or can be a boot drive? Manual does says this, 1 x M.2 PCIe connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA & PCIe SSD support) 1 x SATA Express connector 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0~5) (M.2, SATA Express, and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time. The SATA3 4/5 connectors will become unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed.)

[@BurntFaceMan]

My understanding of M2. Mike Drive has files, he hands them to Sally Sata, but Sally is not very smart and passes them on to Dave Hardrive 1 by 1, and in random orders that Dave has to sort. Dave is putting them into a massive file storage drawer. He gets impatient waiting for Sally to hand him a file, and then gets the files in no particular order. Mike keeps passing more and more files to Sally but she can't keep up. Mike can't fire Sally and gets Sarah M.2 in to help instead. Sarah is super fast and organised, she takes all the files Mike gives her really quickly, she sorts them and hands them to Sally in the correct order, trickle feeding her so she can easily keep up. Dave still gets his files 1-1 but they are at least sorted and easy to file quickly. Mike wonders why he still needs Sally or Sarah to simply hand files to Dave. Ala, why not cut out all the wires and plug USB thumb drives into SSD'd directly?
