Hey Everyone,
I have an MSI Z97M Gaming Motherboard with an i7-4790K CPU and 32GB RAM running at 2133Mhz. Graphics are a Gigabyte GTX 1070 and I have a 5TB SSHDD for video storage.
I currently have a 2.5" Samsung 850 Pro 128GB SATA SSD for OS and a 2.5" Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD for Programs/Games. The 128GB is of course getting filled up quickly, but I have been managing fine for the last year or so. I have started using Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop to upload to YouTube. The problem I have is the rendering time of the video.
The best solution I could think of is to replace the OS drive or add a storage drive to render the video from to speed things up. I am however naive to which drive I should choose. My MB supports M.2 SATA or M.2 PCIe 2.0 x 2, which I know will give me either 6Gb/s or 10Gb/s respectively. I am not looking to do a system upgrade for at least another 3 years, but should I invest in a PCIe or SATA drive? The case is a HTPC case so space is limited, with the 2 current drive mounted in a PCI space bracket.
I only trust Samsung and I am looking at the following drives:
Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 SATA SSD (Currently $135)
Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 PCIe SSD (Currently $160)
Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2 PCIe SSD (Currently$190)
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB M.2 SATA SSD (Currently $220)
Any advice would be appreciated! I know for video editing, it is mostly down to the CPU, which the 4790K should be able to handle (Watercooled with a Corsair H70). The GPU and RM should also be fine. SO the only other component would be storage.
Thank you in advance!!
