Pcie express 4.0 and new nvme ssds

zFox

Do you guys think that you will notice a difference in speed  booting windows,  loading games,  opening and using different types of programs,  and workloads on a maxed out pcie 4.0 nvme ssd running at it's full speed.

 

And hypothetically speaking when we have nvme ssds with speeds of 10k reads and writes,  20k reads and writes,  would the overall speed of using windows and running programs and games be visible and noticeable much faster than the fastest nvme ssds we have now or do you believe at a certain point you won't be able to notice a difference?

I think we're already at the point where faster than a high end 3.0 NVMe flash SSD doesn't really translate into user noticeable difference, outside of timed operations. We already have that in the form of Optane, at least on the random side if not the sequential yet. Storage is fast enough for most things, that something else is the limiting factor in performance. With Optane, I'm seeing performance increases in benchmarks from overclocking the CPU!

in workloads that arent proffesional or involves super massive games  there wont be any difference over cached SATA.
