Posted August 24, 2014 How much of a difference would it make getting a SATA 3 SSD from a SATA 2 SSD? GeT_ReKt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 24, 2014 improved reads, which is the only thing your going to notice most of the time. My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 24, 2014 improved reads, which is the only thing your going to notice most of the time. That's not an accurate test, because you're using two different sata controllers. Also that SSD benchmarked is old, when they still had really slow write speeds. Now newer SSDs can get over 500MB/s writes, which will be bottlenecked by sata 2 but not by sata 3 You can see this from the benchmarks above ^^^ NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to mention, with SATA 6GB/s you can get ~580mbps speeds. My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D.

Posted August 24, 2014 @Bradley It will be better. Not because of the SATA interface speed, but because of the speed of the NAND in the SSD itself. Newer SSDs that use SATA 3 6Gbps use more advanced NAND flash that's faster and more reliable then SSDs that came out back in the SATA 2 days "Rawr XD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
