For comparison, 1TB NVMe SSD is $450 on Amazon, rated at 3,200 MB/s reads and 1,900 MB/s writes.
There are cheaper ones, at $290, rated at around ~$530MB/s reads and writes.
I doubt that many professionals will experience much difference between these in most applications, as most are now CPU-bound.
- icedchai 9y ago530MB/sec is what you would expect from a SATA3 SSD. Are you sure you're looking at the right product? Right. No difference at all. If you're editing hours of high resolution video, you're going to notice the difference.
- saiya-jin 9y agoyes, and that's about the only application where you actually see & feel some difference. not many actually do those
- bufferoverflow 9y agoVideo is one of a few examples when a faster SSD could make a difference. Any non-trivial operations you do on the video will still be bound by the CPU. 530MB/s is enough to completely read a 5GB video into RAM in under 10 seconds. That's orders of magnitude faster than you can edit it and then render it.
