Hey dear Fellowship of the Media,

I have my OS Windows 64bit on a 256 GB Toshiba


I set up my Project, Media Cache and Scratch all onto my emtpy 512 GB NVME (212GB left) It is a Samsung SM961 512 GB

Is this smart? (I followed some guides on the internet.) Should I try different combinations?


I got another 1 TB HDD for other Software and Clips.

I promised myself a huge boost from installing the NVME. Before today I edited on my 7200RPM HDD.

I cant say I notice a difference. I have a Ryzen 1600 a B350 Gaming Pro Motherboard.


Did I do something wrong?



If I benchmark my Nvme the read and write speeds are amazing. 3.3 Gb/s and 1.8 Gb/s.



If i copy however something from my nvme to my SSD or vice versa i get write speeds of 60 mb/s or 130mb/s. (It peaks to write with 1.3GB/s and then dropps to 600Mbs to 400 and stays very low at 120Mb/s.


What might be the bottleneck for my NVME Drive? Are there Drivers that I need to install?



I ordered a heatsink for my nvme since it does get a little hot. But that can't be it.



I would really appreciate some help. My project is due very soon and I promised myself a huge boost with this new heavy purchase.





Thanks in advance for any suggestions.



best regards

Solution
File transfer speed depends on slower one and large files may exceed it's cache so will slow even further once it fills up. So actually your HDD is that bottleneck.
