daltonwatts Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I'm about to build a workstation with 2x Xeon 2699 v3 and i would like some input regarding storage. My options are either go to Samsung 850 Evo (SATA3) 1TB or go to Samsung 950 Pro 512GB (nvme Pcie x4). My question is: is there ANY real difference in opening large 3ds max files between the two hard drives? I know that large file transfers benefit the M.2 nvme but my interest is to speed up large 3ds max file opening and if M.2 pcie x4 doesn't cut it i won't invest in a specific motherboard with support for M.2 pci2 (x4). If i go the SSD Sata3 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PA-D8. If i go the M.2 pcie x4 route the motherboard would be the Asus Z10PE-D8 WS. Has anyone tested this?
