Help me build a pc that loads things ridiculously fast.

[ScriptKiddo]

Hey guys. I want to Dedicate most of my computer build budget to ssd, raid stuff and anything else to make a ridiculously fast computer that loads Things like games and apps stupidly fast. Can you give me tips/ideas on how to do that? For ex: raid 0 nvme (although I learned that’s pretty stupid) pie express 5.0 (I’m not sure that’s out yet), software optimization, whatever.

PCIe 5.0 is not released.

You could get a lot of RAM, though, and make a RAM drive.

Is there any reason you're hoping to specifically accomplish that with your computer?

Currently, most day-to-day applications and games barely show a difference in loading times between SATA and PCIe 3.0 SSDs, let alone PCIe 4.0 and so forth.

Yea I’ve looked into that, but ram is persistent..

 I mean. Buying a lot of ram and making like a 32gig or 64gig drive out of it to store games can be done. But there are little to none benefit to do that.

Sata ssd is very fast and other ssds or ram drive will be pointless.

If you make a ram drive...doesnt that delete everything on it once power is lost? @ragnarok0273

You can meke it persistent.

 

ram is around 40 times faster than normal sata ssd, but with like max 10% improvoment on loading times.

Pcie gen 4 ssd is 4 times slower than ram and 10 times faster than a sata SSD, but there is next to no improvoment at all.

Yep - but it's currently the fastest storage we have.

...I thought you might say that lol.

 

Well then, you're either looking at getting tons of RAM and using something like RAMDisk, or run a couple PCIe 4.0 SSDs in RAID 0. Or heck, Optane. Whatever you feel will boost the e-peen most.

 

Or, think a little more about it, and spend your money on stuff that's actually useful.

How would one make it persistent?

Pffffft that’s no fun.

Right, what's your budget?

[Electronics Wizardy]

The fastest stores you can get for most things these days is a optane nvme drive. There faster than nvme drives for most uses. But probalby not worth it as there about a buck a gig. But a nvme ssd is normally more than fast enough for most uses, and things will load plenty fast.

[mahyar]

well make a ramdisk and make an script that transfers all files of os to ram

This is mostly theoretical but... maybe 500$ just for storage.

How much storage do you need?

 

If you want to burn money, get a optane 900p, if you want reasonble and still very fast, get something like a 2tb 980 pro

[Archer42]

Intel is releasing new optane which will be pci-e 4.0 and will be ridiculously fast, but it will also be enterprise-only and ridiculously expensive. If you want the fastest thing out there it is what you should aim for. $500 would not be enough though, i suspect not even close not even for the smallest one.
