I will blow your mind when I will tell you to use a RamDisks for fastest run times wink wink

  If you use a Samsung SATA SSD, just enable RAPID mode in the Samsung Magician program. The different with and without is huge. (Enabling RAPID mode basically creates an invisible RAM disk and uses it under the hood.)

    is this different than just allocating swap space on the SSD?
    • pdimitar 7y ago
      Very different. The RAPID mode is basically a RAM disk under the hood -- it does its best to cache often-accessed files and temporarily prioritise loading big files on demand (which is the use-case of games, they often have huge files with textures and sound). Gotta say, it works amazingly well. I am getting almost PCI/NVMe speeds on my SATA III SSD.

Sorry if this is obvious but does that mean we will have a better experience with a total of 32GB RAM than say 8GB? I have not worked with RAM disk before...
