sshd vs nvme ssd

TheBean
Go to solution Solved by iRileyx,

If you're only using these for a gaming PC don't even bother with NVMe drives, only really useful if you plan on transferring large amount of files quite often.

 

Just get say a 500gb sata ssd for OS and main programs you use, and 1tb hdd for the rest of your stuff. will likely work out cheaper too.

should i get a sshd of 1tb or a 250gb nvme ssd+500gb hdd.

 

i dont care about the storage size difference, i just want to know what is better for a new gaming pc. 

i have heard that sshd, are much better that hdd,s because of the cache. but the cache is really small. does it make that much of a difference?

i've actually talked over this with my boss.. we have a bunch of SSHD's out there.. they are so much not worth..

 

the systems are still as slow loading as with a HDD, and the disks have proven less reliable than preferred.

The SSHD is kind of a weird in between. I would go straight to SSD if your already spending the money. And unless you need the PCIE transfer speeds, a regular SATA ssd would be fine.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Get an NVMe SSD! Then you can go around saying "my computer has a much faster SSD than yours N V me! 

Lame joke warning
