So I just got my NVMe disk installed. HOLY MOLY; its mostly innocuous so far, but little things are just _so_ responsive its ridiculous. Funny as it is, based on what I do all the time, the most noticable change is in the time it takes to open a PowerShell prompt and have it be fully loaded and responsive. Previously 3-4seconds; now instant. Is that going to save me the time to justify the cost ever? Nope. But its fuckin sweet. I am pleased. I'm playing this fun game of "what should I keep on the NVMe disk; and what should live on the 850 Pro as a scratch disk" - namely trying to cherry pick VMs I want to by hyper responsive.

Just moved a failed experiment with a FusionIO drive to my desktop. 1.2tb of  for all my VMs.R:  W:  This is just acting as a VM store in addition to a 950 Pro NVMe boot disk. Pretty sure I'm good on storage these days. Enterprise storage is p cool Walked fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Feb 11, 2017 |

priznat posted:Anyone get an Intel 900p yet? Getting some of those and a couple of the x8 HGST SN260s for system testing, curious to see how they go. Yeah. I picked up a 480gb 900p Drive is stellar. I do a lot of VMs and development work and it is goddamn great. Raw read-only/write-only throughput is on par with NVMe but in mixed workloads it shines

priznat posted:I am curious, do you use it for VM image storage? I run some lab servers with some minor vms (ubuntu/win server 2016) for misc tasks (using hyper-v) and am curious if staging the images on that would really speed it up. I do run a number of VMware Workstation VMs off it (some running nearly fulltime; others periodically). They are lightning fast. That said; if it weren't my primary desktop (I have a few lab servers as well), I'd have a hard time advocating for it as a worthwhile expense. I was only able to justify it between selling off the Star Citizen code on eBay + writing off the card as a business expense. It's slick as poo poo; but its in direct conflict with the 80/20 rule and something I'd be somewhat hesitant to recommend unless you make money on the computer, have a direct need for this sort of performance, and/or convince someone else to cover the cost.
