I have seagate barracuda 7200rpm, fortnite was dropping fps so much. Now moved to NVMe ssd and fps is super stable. If you got the same problem definitely change the HDD
That might be because your hard drive health is low
I upgraded from a Toshiba HDD to a Kingston NV2 drive. I somehow got 50% more fps in GTA with the same settings. The only 2 things different besides the new SSD is that my GPU is now undervolted and the OS is now WIN11. Neither one changes the FPS that drastically, so it's surely the SSD giving the pc the extra performance.
@@Determinator21cache misses are gonna be more noticeable on a hard drive
Eso me pasa igual a mi, yo voy normalmente de 200-300 fps en fortnite y de la nada me dan tirones o me llegan a bajar a 50 fps y tambien hay veces que va un poco trabada la imagen, tengo un 5600x y una 3060 12gb y 32gb ram
Nahh, my HDD still good 100% sentinel. It's true if u play online games u have too use SSD to fix spike lag issue. But I still save open world game like cyberpunk on hdd
Thank you for all the time spent doing this. Hugely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Going from HDD SATA that was in the PS4 to upgrading the storage to a SSD SATA, that was a day and night on how smooth the game ran. But when I got my PS5 which has a custom M.2 SSD, it was a way bigger difference. The loading times we're even more significantly lower and even smoother gameplay because of that extra power and having an insanely fast storage on top of that.
3:15 impressive difference between the ssds and the hdd ! Wow !
I'm convinced NVME are great for certain workloads but for gaming a fast SATA SSD with SLC cache and a good controller works just as well. As NVME drives get cheaper and cheaper this will change but that is life.
I took prefer SATA ssd with dram cache
@@OdinHardware Can anyone explain to me what’s that cache thing? I’m new to this PC world, thanks
If remember correctly WD Green HDDs were for storage not meant as installation media...
Wonder when we will see a good jump in load times with future nvme its not been a big difference ever since they came out really odd
Verdade
6:13 Omg , look at the framegraph of the hdd !! Also the 1% lows ... Cpu usage almost identical...
So, SATA SSD is still the price to performance champ. Only use an HDD if someone gave it to you and you literally don’t have $75.
You can get NVMe that cheap though.
yeah, i plan to get 980 pro 250gb for OS and 2tb sata ssd for games
@@andy-xz2uk Did you get it?
in my country nvme ssd are cheaper than sata
@@PowerHannes69 In my country it's the same situation
I question though for your Sata SSD drives like how much information you have packed into it and how long you have been using it for because i own a Teamgroup L53D 2.5" SSD (before i swapped it for my 2tb Teamgroup AX2 drives) and for games like Horizon Zero Dawn the loading time i would get is more around 24 seconds and those are budget SSD's while the MX500 is an A-tier SSD so for you to get 35 seconds how much punishment did you put the drive through because filling it does lower the life span as well as making it perform slower.
Oh ya and depending on the size as well depends on the speeds as well for Sata SSD's.
bro is terrible with benchamarks
why arent u on the same spot on apex legends because theres differences on where u see or where u are
Do a comparison of NVME raid and SATA raid, should see a point of diminishing returns
Recently I finished tested nvme raid and surprisingly nvme raid is not that speedy as I expected. Will do
I dont care about loading times. Can you just tell me if there's any difference in fps in AAA title games in m.2 sata vs nvme m.2 ssd?
Both will be similar in FPS but the higher-speed SSD will not give shutters and a black screen, it will give smooth rendering and transition which will give the best experience of the game.
And better fps stability.
@@gamehacked25thHDD can be a problem with modern games. For example Squad is unplayable on HDD and Fallout 76 has its problems too. Those are old titles,but newer games would handle it worse
There are mamy times in this vid when HDD gives actually more FPS than NVME, why?
I have no reasons 😕 🙃
@@OdinHardware "Khajit has no words for you"...😁
1:54 Perhaps the difference between nvme and ssd isn't that great, as the cpu doesn't have enough processing power to decompress the data fast enough to make any difference...
Nvm drives might be a faster solution as a virtual ram as they reach 4 gBytes/sec
It's more to do with read/write speeds.
Now do this in star citizen and get back to me. Not just loading the game but getting into a server.
who tf needs to know how is it in Star Citizen?
Hdd fps=🔥🔥
Hdd speed=💩
When does the ssd take effect? When you have it in your pc unit or when you install a game inside of the ssd?
Do you need to install the game inside of the SSD before you can experience the fast loading screens?
I don't understand, it happens immediately, the PC is faster/snappier in general, anything that is loaded off the drive will see a benefit (e.g. almost everything).
@@raphaelviray1975do you get smarter by buying a book or by actually reading it?
If that’s an actual question you have no clue wtf a drive of any sort is and this isn’t for you.
Just be the type of guy to buy a new PC every 2yrs because it’s slow and stfu
entonces el almacenamiento no influye en los fps, en los mostrados aqui al menos
Siempre y cuando tengas un SSD o Nvme para el Windows puedes usar un HDD para juegos y no cambian los FPS para nada
Incluso sale más barato
Разница ток в загрузках как я понял?А фпс одинаковый в играх будет?
Посмотри на график игры показанной на 6:13, 1% и 0.1% на hdd куда ниже. Визуально будет казаться, что все как-то лагает и тормозит
Hey i have a sata ssd and sometimes experience fps microstutters, will installing a fast m.2 fix this?
Yes it will
Keep 30% storage free with your Sata disk
@@OdinHardwarewait do I have to keep 30% open for any ssd u have. I’m having similar issues and I’m just gonna out right replace the ssd for more storage
Bro test games that actually push a drive to the limits. Join a multiplayer Ark Survival game, that’s a shit load of assets to load in.
horizon works really bad on a hdd.
Yes
So 2.5s aren't much slower than M.2s after all...
Having installed a 2.5 in my laptop just a few days ago (the M.2 interface is broken 🤪), I didn't notice any change to the performance. Loads CSGO just as fast. Better value for money too, cheaper *and* twice the capacity 😝👍.
2.5 is slower compared to nvme . The m.2 and 2.5 is same it's just that m.2 can be installed directly into mobo . Only difference comes with nvme. Yes you won't see that much difference in game loading with nvme and sata unless you're using them for some other works
@@aspirewot8408 I was comparing the form factors, in this case 2.5 SATA to M.2 SATA. My six year old motherboard doesn't support NVMe, so I cannot test it for myself.
I am confuse. Sometimes hdd is much higher fps than nvme, i dont know if i should give up my hdds
Storage affects mostly loading times. Graphical processing is up to the other components. But going from HDD to SSD is 100% worth it.
@@Alomare thanks. I bought now ssd, but only sata because nvme is unclear for my MOBO if my gpu will drop to 8x rather than x16 if i put the nvme on top of the gpu second with the price of 2tb nvme i could bought 4tb ssd sata and i did, i ditch also my two 1tb HDD for the 4tb ssd sata. I just left one 2tb hdd for files. Loading times is faster and i dont know how to explain but my games is more snappier, almost no difference with fps with HDD but i dont know, it feels more responsive for me when i switch to ssd. Thanks for the advice.
i had fortnite installed on a hdd, and then i bought a m.2 and installed fortnite there but nothing changed, do i have to install windows on the nvme so it improves my game?
Yes install windows on nvme
The 3600 bottlenecks the nvme ssd as its pcie 4 and the cpu is pcie 3
thanks
welcome
Horizon Zero Dawn took forever to loading 😂
I think mine is 5600rpm? Sure take more long than on this video
5600rpm drives with bigger cache like 64mb will be good
Thanks you
welcome
still a gimmick lol
what is the gimmick?
how? Its faster, runs games a bit better. ANd its not too long until games end support for HDDs like cyberpunk is doing
Which version of NVME was used? 4.0?
Model details should be in description
Time to ditch the HDD in these tests.
Wtf?! Without it we'd have nothing to compare to! The difference between ssd/m2/nvme is meaningless as seen in this test! But did u notice that in Doom Eternal hdd beat ALL of the competition in 0.1 lows with a landslide!!
