lazduc Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I was wondering if anyone has an M2 ssd drive and has any information on the speed of these drives vs the regular ssd running DCS? :thumbup: Laz
cichlidfan Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I have one but I can't offer information on DCS performance since it is my system disk and DCS is not on it. However, in terms of general information there are lots of articles out there. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2977024/storage/m2-ssd-roundup-tiny-drives-deliver-huge-performance.html An NVME port is about 66% faster than a SATA port.

lazduc Posted May 7, 2017 Author Posted May 7, 2017 Cic, I just looked up the drive I purchased...its an Samsung 950 Pro M.2 2280 NVME. For just trial I ordered the 256GB. I also have a 500GB Samsung ssd that I will put win 10 on and a few other games but will load DCS onto the 950 pro. Still trying to find a place to host photos. Want to email you the photos. Would you mind pm me your email address...make it easier to send the photos. Laz
cichlidfan Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 I have the same drive but I only have the OS and those applications that I let install into C:\Program Files which, since it is my flight sim rig, are just a few small support applications. If my motherboard had two NVME slots I would have put in a second one for flight sims to live on.
