LAPTOP SSD SETUP ADOBE CC

Hello everyone

Been a while, hope all is well.

I have a Msi GT75VR laptop.

At the moment I have 4x ssd slots

1x m.2 sata 1tb

2x nvme m.2 256gb raid 0

1x 2.5" ssd 500gb

All samsung

Windows is on the nvme as raid 0. However i was thinking of splitting the raid and using 1x nvme for windows and 1x nvme for temp/scratch files 

The 1tb for music /effects etc.

500gb for editing

Is there much advantage on using nvme for editing rather than ssd.  As i am willing to upgrade the ssd.

Any assistance appreciated

Baz

    Correct answer ECBowen

    ignore the benchmarks

    the laptop was in eco mode and performance was low.


    You do not require dedicated cache drives with Adobe when using SSD's and especially NVMe drives. You should be fine using the NVMe drives for Media and cache.

    Yes the NVMe is faster and more often than not you wont need the speed of the NVMe for OS read/write requests.

    Hey Eric

    from my SSD setup, what would you recommend i do.

    is it necessary to have a separate temp/cache etc  .

    My name is not Eric and I do not have the resources of ADK to learn from but here is my suggested configuration.

    Definitely break the NVMe RAID it is a terrible waste of fast SSD's

    1. Use your 2.5" SSD for your OS/Applications
    2. Use one of your NVMe m.2 256GB SSD's for your current project and the media associated with it, I f you have a number of current projects or large projects use the second one also but no RAID just as another SSD. 
    3. Use your 1TB SATA M.2 SSD for backup/archiving
    4. Temp/Scratch does not need a dedicated drive just room on any of your SSD's.
    5. Forget my setup if Eric has other ideas
