Hello ! 

 

So , im getting a samsung 970 pro, and 970 plus 1 tb. My question is, if my " gaming " m.2 ssd is going to be the 970 plus 1 tb, and i partition that drive to two drives say drive "D:/" and drive "E:/", will this have ANY impact on performance ingames or any other things whatsoever ? cause uknow, its kinda virtually splitt in half. ? might be a dumb question, but i have to know !!!!! 

Thanks !

Won't have any issues, unlike filling up a QLC drive.

 

Interesting choice for the gaming drive.

Partitioning a SSD is pointless for the performance than just a mere drive separation.

In regular HDD partitioning is recommended, because the you want to have the head moving in shorter distance to read a data.

This is called short stroking.

 

Now, in SSD, there's no such head to move around, the data can be picked any cell at any time, edge to edge.

Hello ! Thanks for answer, then its safe i guess 0 performance lost. 

 

Yes, primarily i was going to use the 970 pro as gaming drive, but as suggested by others on this forum, 970 plus was recommended cause it got faster random reads.

I meant that gaming performance over a SATA SSD is negligible, you just have a pricey gaming drive :)

 

Enjoy!
