SSD Comparison
SSD Comparison
I have P3D4.5 installed on a WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm SSD but with addons its almost full. I was looking at a SAMSUNG 850 PRO 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND SSD for $109.99 as opposed to a WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm on sale for $82.99. Would I see any significant increase in performance in P3D with the more expensive SAMSUNG?

Re: SSD Comparison
.M2 Drives are much faster than normal SSD. and depending of the quantity of add-ons you might have, you will see an extra benefit from using .M2 Drives instead.Jerrymc3 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 1:08 pm I have P3D4.5 installed on a WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm SSD but with addons its almost full.

Re: SSD Comparison
Simbol, you are absolutely right here, but, as far as I could see, neither of the OP's choices mentioned were .M2's.
That's why I just said no.

Re: SSD Comparison
Best is to go for a 2TB. I have split it in two partitions, one small for the OS, 0.5 TB and 1.5 TB for the flightsim. I only split it for convenience, to separate the OS from applications. Data I have on a older SSD on the SATA III. With this 1.5 TB I have still 0.5 TB free now. I have pretty much addons.

Re: SSD Comparison
I have 3 SSDs, a 500GB for Windows 10, MS Word & Excel and design programs etc., 1TB for Megascenery USA East, 500GB for P3D but I just ordered a 1TB 660P NVMe M.2 Internal SSD for P3D. I also have a 3TB HDD for the rest of Megascenery, a 500GB HDD for Downloads and a 500GB HDD for FSGlobal. So my OS is on a separate drive from all my flight simulator stuff.

Re: SSD Comparison
But don't forget guys, that there are two types of M2 SSDs: PCIE and SATA ;)
Re: SSD Comparison
Hi,
You need to check your manual for your pc/laptop as you maybe limited to what size of ssd you can use depending on if you have a second drive installed and it's size, it's down to the design of the hdd controller and it's limits.
regards
Steve
As an example, I have a 128GB M2 ssd, my second drive is a 1TB. I cannot increase the size of the ssd unless I decrease the size of the second drive but I can put a 1tb SSD in for the second drive, check your manual.

Re: SSD Comparison
You must first find out if you can even use a m2 SSD (compatibility).
