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  .

    Hey Bill

    hope all is well

    thanks for the advise

    I usually do 1 to 2 projects at a time, and most of media are on backup external drives. I transfer as and when required.

    I have done a quick benchmark with crystal disk and the 2.5 ssd with rapid mode does better in all apart from first read/write.

    the bios is set to RST mode.

    attached the benchmarks from the drives.

    crucial 1050gb MX300

    2x samsung SM961 256gb raid 0

    samsung 850 pro 512gb rapid mode


    First of all the only spec that means anything for video editing with the CDM benchmark are the sequential read and write

    Something lousy with MSI's implementation of that  2x samsung SM961 256gb raid 0

    The individual sequential read specification for a SM961 is 3100MB/s where you show only 1725 MB/s for the pair in RAID 0 ????

    Does this MSI GT75VR have a more complete model number?  Is it a stock item if we want to dig out more internal details?   MSI now has brand new Intel I9 models, is this one of those "dream" 6-core guy's?
