![]() It makes a massive difference having a good drive in your machine!Īlways run your system drive from an SSD, and use HDDs cheap storage. I wrote an article on CPUs and overall performance using Cinebench and Passmark which gives good relative system performance comparisons. shows how other peoples similar systems compare. It allows you to specify many advanced options to determine how your drives perform best and to determine the typical operating performance. See this stackoverflow thread for upgrading MacBook Pros to faster disks in detail UserBenchMarks and CPUs DiskMark is a small utility that allows you to benchmark your disks and hard drives performance. Linustechtrip forums and a great deep dive resource. Search for SSD / HDD on there to find out the latest tech. Linus Tech Tips on YouTube is an excellent resource. While the Blade includes ADATA's suite of drive health and diagnostic tools, the Predator includes a version of Acronis True Image cloning software that facilitates data transfer and backups. I’m a software developer and run a 256MB NVMe and 4TB HDD which is enough for me (just). If you’ve a large database workload eg 8TB of data, then it is cost prohibitive to put that all on M.2 NVMe (and gets into the questions of enough PCI Express Lanes). That approach gave me the equivalent of SATAIII SSD drive speeds on these SATAII workstations. the key to getting the Kingston Predator M.2 PCIe card to work was use of a specific storage controller package that HP provides on their driver page for these ZX00 workstations. Here is the latest Crucial SSD release giving an idea of where we are today Workload I posted on both of those upgrades in detail here in the past. Wow - this is insanely fast compared to my SATA SSD So this seems like a better option than using a SATA SSD (I could be wrong here but worth experimenting with - See this PCWorld Article for more detail). Glotrends PCIE NVMe Adapter Card PCIE GEN3 Full Speed for PC Desktop The motherboard didn’t support x3 lanes, but even so with x2 lanes he was getting an impressive 1600 MB/s If you’ve an old desktop, even a 14 year old motherboard (as my good friend has done) you can put in an M.2 NVMe drive using a PCI Express adapter. Notice it is 5 times the speed of the best HDD’s I have! PCI Express to M.2 NVMe This is interesting - the perf of a relatively new HDD hasn’t improved a lot. HDD - 8 years oldĬame with my XPS17 laptop (had dual ones of this drive) HDD - 5 years oldĤTB Western Digital inside a fast desktop. Good article on Amazon about disks HDD - 10 years oldįrom around the 2010 era of an Apple MacBook Pro. ![]() M.2 - wafer thin using a speed up technique called NVMe. ![]() ![]()
