comet424 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) since i have that other post about issues with the lost lancache i still need help with my question is does unraid optimize for Gen 4 nvmes does plex load faster over the network when reading the thumb nails.. do windows vms load faster.. do copying ... etc is it worth getting gen 4 over gen 3 vs sata?

comet424 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 has anyone tried a Gen 4 running at the 7000mb/s noticed much difference in loading dockers vms etc.. over a sata or a Gen 3 3500mb/s? Quote Link to comment
Meles Meles Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Surely the fact that it's a faster drive will be transparent to the OS? i.e. things will just be quicker - that being said, if the drive speed *is* currently a bottleneck, you'll just be moving the bottleneck somewhere else in the stack (albeit a wider necked bottle) Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 @Meles Meles reason i ask is.. like Video games and Windows 10 can not use the speeds of Gen 4 SSD the difference from a SAta and NVMe Gen 4 is not much difference.. so i was curious if Unraid say in version 10 will be optomized to run faster things for a Gen 4 at 7000mb/s or might as well go with just sata of a 3500/3000mbs i just trying to see if its worth keeping a Gen 4.. i posted a new posting.. Windows can get 7000mb/s but unraid cant get it in disk speed Quote Link to comment
