Boot times

[Moondrelor]

Ok fella's, what storage device will give me the absolute fastest boot time, and the absolute fastest load times. 

[Oshino Shinobu]

Boot would probably be some PCIe SSD and fastest load times would probably be a RAMdisk.

SSD ofcourse

SSD ofcourse

 

Well of course, but which one.

Well, my dreams and hopes got shut down by intel's 750 boot times on the pcie ssd.

[JebKerman]

probably something like the 950 Pro (doesn't have to wait for the PCIe controller), or, as mentioned, a RAMdisk.

Yeah, i'm looking at the 950 pro, would a asus deluxe m.2 allow that transfer speeds?

or would I have to use the pcie to m.2

i think max transfer rates vary from board to board

I found out the x99 Deluxe mobo supports 32gb/s on the m.2

should be good then,

 

Wow the m.2 standard is massively ahead of SSD tech, the 950 Pro only operates at 2.5GB/s Read and 1.5GB/s Writes

Yeah Asus wanted to make sure their boards accept ssd rates of any sort for a long time I guess! Haha.

But these speeds are ridiculous. My hard drive did about 45mb/s. Upgraded to an 850pro 2.5" ssd and was getting like 550mb/s? That's 12 times faster! lol, and now this m.2? 2.5gb/s? That's 4 times faster than the ssd and 55 times faster than the hdd.
