What's actually the bottleneck on startup now? Why does it take 8 seconds instead of 2?

Saukkis posted:What games do such a significant amount of writing to affect QLC cache? I would think most games get installed and after that they are read only, except for config changes and save states. I think by definition a cache is going to have some writing because it's going to be moving stuff in/out depending on what needs to be cached at any given time.

Is it a bad idea to create a second partition on my system disk to use as a cache (for PrimoCache)? I have a second SSD sitting around but it's much smaller.

DrDork posted:PrimoCache is intended to cache disk activity that otherwise would go to a HDD--if you have a HDD in your system for whatever reason that you frequently access, then yes, it would help speed up those accesses the same way simply having the data installed on your system SSD would, though obviously only up to the amount of space that you dedicated to the cache. That's how I'm going to be using it, I'm caching a 5TB drive, I just need to know whether it's going to be too detrimental to performance to have the cache partition and the system partition on the same physical drive.

Can someone explain to me the difference between caching and tiered storage? Because it seems like the same idea to me: Frequently-used files get moved/copied to the SSD from the hard drive. What's the difference in practice?

Is it a stupid idea to sell my Samsung 860 EVO sata drive to buy an equivalent capacity Inland Premium NMVE drive? There's not that much price difference and the Inland drive has like 6-7x the r/w speed.

Rinkles posted:At present time, if we're talking about general home use (browsing, streaming, gaming, guess occasional file transfers), is there going to be a big difference between a sata ssd and an nvme ssd? Nothing you would notice in almost all cases.

I think SSDs are probably safe for the time being. The process of creating a mining 'plot' generates a massive amount of writes so they recommend using old enterprise drives.

The only and only time I had problems with an SSD drive it ended up being the SATA cable instead of the drive.

kliras posted:yeah that slot is basically dead to me. hell if i'm going to wrestle my d15 every time i want to manage something there https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S7NV2B7 I bought this when I needed to change out a m2 drive and instead of being an exercise in frustration it only took a few minutes. It took longer to unplug everything and unseat my video card than it did to switch the NVME drive.

SATA versus NMVE doesn't matter all that much for games. There's a difference but usually not much more than 1 second of load time. Maybe this will change in the future if they ever get DirectStorage figured out.

Also they don’t have moving parts. If there’s no visible damage to the SSD it’s probably fine.
