I'm posting this here as I may have posted it in the wrong section the other day so hopefully second time around I'll get better results. okay, I recently purchased a new system that has an i7, 32gb of DDR4 and a new motherboard. I want to start doing some video editing. I've never used an nvme drive before so i was wondering if some one could point out the best set up for video editing (rust videos so I'll be recording the game play as well). The nvme in question is 128GB PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive Option A NVME: For the operating system SSD: For recording the game play to SATA: for basic file storage, Option B SSD: For the operating system NVME: For recording the game play to (I've been told that having the video files here would help speed up the encoding) SATA: For basic storage
NVME will significantly improve system responsiveness. SSD is ideal for storage as it is cheaper unless the bandwidth isn't sufficient. More RAM to speed up encoding? Is their an argument for not using a single large NVME?
Yep, the argument is I've only got a single 128gGB NVME, AND a single 250GB ssd but I have 3 8TBS satas
either SSD will be fine for video, you will probably find like myself that the CPU will become the bottlenext and you won't be able to max the SSD. Benefits come from transferring multi Gb files around the system with NVme, I get impatient with my 1.3Gb/s write drive from my NVMe RAID setup that can do 7Gb/s If you are not shift big data about just do the video on the sata and perhaps set up a tiered system to cache the rest of your stuff with your small 128.
In very little processes you will notice the difference. I have Samsung 970 512gb nvme m2. For everyday applications you will not see the difference. In loading 1200 raw files yes, you will see. But do you do that ?
