NVMe PCIe 4.0 vs NVMe PCIe 3.0 vs SATA3 SSD vs SATA3 HDD in 2021

3.0 seems really good for games

How about a retest with PCI-E 4 7400MB/s? :)

THANKS FOR THE VID ITS HELP ME ALOOT

Oh wow, I didn't know that Windows boot times scales so well with higher SSD speeds.

Great Work!

Good job

For loading win and game no diference at all between pcie 3vs4, max. some 0,5/1s. This test is weird…

That is, for now, the 3.0 still compensates for the price, as a difference of 1 second in games is not an advantage at all.

Mds, meu HD é mais rápido 😃👍

so what you're saying is that with 4.0 gta V will load in approximately 30 Years
upgrade certainly worth the money spent

are you sure you are using a nvme m.2 and not a sata m.2 because pcie 3.0 should have been a little quicker i belive

Wow....I thought games load equally among all SSDs but clearly not the case.

Keep in mind this is testing a fast 3.0 drive vs a slow 4.0 drive. Newer 4.0 drives are 40% faster than the one shown here. Consequently the 4.0 drive shown here is 40% faster than the 3.0 drive so imagine another one of those same jumps in performance.

I would love to see you redo some of this with the newer PCIe 4.0 with 7 GB/s speeds. I think they'll be faster than the prior PCIe 4.0's with 5 GB/s. Like on my current one, I'd love to see the XPG 1TB GAMMIX S70 Blade tested.

imagine windows start up with pcie 5.0 XD

wait for pcie5

Sata 3 HDD?? Do they even reach Sata 3 max speeds? 😄

Seems like the gen 4 is struggling to maintain speed.

Weird results on Crystal Disk Mark?

Best comparison video out there right now, you can see how much has changed in like a decade of consumer storage tech!

can i buy sssd m2 Gen 4 for my laptop

SATA3 SSD would be more than enough for another 10 years in gaming

I just got a 2Tb Firecuda 520 on eBay for $200 🔥

my hdd is 62 mb/s write 26mb/s read i cant wait for later today to get an ssd 😪😪

Спасибо, очень наглядно!

This Red Dead Redemption 2 numbers are weird, do cpu be limitation or they have so bad wrote code so it not use even NVMe speed?

My hdd writes at 480mb/s

This is inaccurate to be honest. Samsung PM981 1TB is crap compared to the 970 Evo Plus.

So from these results I expect pcie5 gonna do half the time of pcie4 ....3 seconds!

And what about data transfer? Why do everybody forget that's a thing?

Thanks ! One of the best tests ! But ! Real good tests will only be if we compare SSDs that give the maximum bandwith 4000 MB/s (Pcie 3) vs 8000 MB/s SSDs (Pcie4).

Nice Video..

Just bought the 980pro for gen 4. Can't wait now seeing these boot times. Ty. Does having games on the drive allow the game to render faster as well?

5.0 BABY!

thank you bro

It’s about time to upgrade to PCIE 4.0

My Samsung sata SSD does 7 seconds boot tho 😂😂😂

Inacreditável......

nice

Здравствуйте, у вас какая версия windows 10?

HDD are like CD and IDE connection for me, i can't see it anymore on a computer nowaday!
