Aster and SAS

[AngryPig]

Would SAS drives be better off for use in a system using ASTER Multiseat as opposed to normal SATA drives? And if so by how much or how many users at once for it to be beneficial?

What specfic drives?

 

Normally go ssd for speed, SAS performance hdds are dead, no reason to use sas drives for mass storage here. If you want the fastest, pcie is much faster than sas.

I just rewatched an old Tech Quickie about SAS being better than SATA as it allowed for the speed for multiple users in both directions so thought it might be improved but makes sense PCIE would supersede this anyway

pcie is also full duplex, and that won't make any performance differnce anyways.

 

Id get get a sata ssd here, or spend a bit more for a 960 evo.
