is the librarian hot?

I'd like to see what performance gains there are to using a wd velociraptor with ssd caching vs lets say a caviar black?

perfect!!thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

@T0MMYC123 ok, so the nessesery amount would be 8GB, that is a sweetspot for gamers these days, its over enough but don't sell the 16GB you might need it next year. 1600 is a pretty fast bandwidth, you could get 1800Mhz or even up to 2400Mhz but those two are for very high end motherboards like the Gigabyte G1 Assassen and others, you can use either one, the 8GB is over eenough like I said but now that you have the 16GB you might as whell use it to have some headroom for future games.

@ianmarais1 its the same 1600mhz.

@T0MMYC123 -the amont of bandwidth in Mhz it has, if the file is like 2GB and the RAM is either 8GB or 16GB it wont make a difference if its got different storige space and the same amount of bandwidth, it might have a little bit better refresh rate interms of the 16GB one then the 8GB one but thats barley noticable. The bigger the file the lower the refresh rate.

[ianmarais1]

@T0MMYC123 Whell it also depends on the Mhz, was both the 8GB and 16GB the same Mhz?. RAM is Random Access Memory, and it is just the work station. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is only for storing saved docs and apps and like gaming progress, but RAM is used for When the file is in progress and the size of the file's progress are behing stored and refreshed very fast. When saved and exited it is removed completly from the RAM and stored in HDD. It can only travel and proccessd as fast as-

So if it has a backup for when the first set of nand dies. Would'nt a raid 0 cache halve the IOPS per set of capcity and give much better performance?

[likesm14]

I´m a total noob in hards drives and ssds. what is better : a ssd for boot, or for cache?

[SeanHuggable]

Do a comparison with Asus's inhouse ssd caching on their x79 platform vs OCZ Dataplex on the same platform please !
