nvme not that fast as i thought?

[Sharon24]

i just bought the crucial P1 500GB and i dont feel much differnt from the sata ssd i used to have

 

my board is z170 gaming k3 and i checked it support nvme pci-e  x4 

so its jut me excapting blazing fast speed or what?

1. The Crucial P1 is a low end QLC drive (ofc still faster than SATA)
2. You won't notice much improvement using a faster SSD anyway. Most normal tasks don't really need more than SATA speed. Did you do a benchmark?

For general tasks there's not much benefit of a NVMe drive over SATA SSD. It should show benefit in tasks that rely heavily on read/writes, such as video editing.

You can use software such as CrystalDiskMark to benchmark the performance of the drive.

if you want to feel the difference then buy samsung 970, it really makes a differnce

It won't. For most workloads NVMe just shifts the system bottleneck to other parts of the system. Now if you're doing super heavy writes and reads from the disk, things like heavy video editing and rendering you'll notice a huge difference.

no just yesterday bought it

i will do and post pic here

NVMe is for very specific usage, normal/daily tasks and gaming there is no benefit from common SATA3 SSD.

Those are proper throughput speeds, but as others have commented, there is a limit to real-world speed improvements for things like loading the OS, etc. It's not as revolutionary as you would see going from HDD to SSD.

Appears the drive is functioning correctly. As previously mentioned, you may not notice that performance in general daily tasks.

Going from SATA SSD > NVMe SSD is not the same performance increase you see when going from HDD > SSD. The main problem with HDDs wasn't the read/write performance (though that was also improved on SSDs) but the IO & access times. The main benefit you see in general tasks with the SSD is removing the latency in spinning a physical disk around and moving a needle to locate & read the data. Increasing the sustained read/write rate doesn't have all that much of an impact for daily tasks like you might think it does.

If you're using it as a 'scratch' disk for something that requires high sustained read or write rates (such as previously mentioned video editing) then you will see improvements with NVMe storage over SATA SSDs.

this why i love this community !

 

thanks!
