A Loading Benchmark

Today my library got dangerously close to max capacity, and I was curious if I would gain any performance benefit by moving it to my M2 or lose if I moved it to my HDD.

Not an extensive benchmark, just 1 quick test. If anyone has comments or wants to contribute with their own, you're welcome!

PC specs: Ryzen 7900X, 32GB 6000mhz 30CL DDR5, RTX 4070ti Super.

Software open in background: Chrome, File Explorer.

 

HDD

Capacity 2TB
Speed 5400 RPM
Cache 64 MB
Interface SATA 6.0Gbps
Form Factor 3.5"

SSD
DAZ 3D is installed here, the main Library is here.

Capacity 1TB
Interface SATA 6.0Gbps
Form Factor 2.5"


M2
In PCI-E 4 x4 slot, not PCI-E 5.

Capacity 4TB
Interface PCIe® Gen 4.0 x4 / 5.0 x2 NVMe™ 2.0
Form Factor M.2 (2280)

 

Benchmark

This is 1 test run only. 
Install package > open DAZ > test > close DAZ > uninstall package > install package to new location.

The surprising part is that HDD did not take that much longer than every other storage. 

SSD performing better than M2 could be a fluke due to single test with busier CPU in that moment, or can be connected to being on the same drive as DAZ Studio and being my only DAZ Library in that moment.
Testing on all other drives meant adding a second library.

Computer hardware seems far more important than the storage itself for when it comes to speed of loading it into the scene.
