Drive Performace in LightRoom PC

Drive Performace in LightRoom PC

Benchmarks depend on many items. I used ATTO_Disk_Benchmark_3_05 to test the drives on the Lightroom system I built.

------------------
System Information
------------------
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 16299) (16299.rs3_release.170928-1534)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.2GHz
 Memory: 65536MB RAM
 Available OS Memory: 65460MB RAM

On my previous post on why I built the computer this way, I indicated drives this way

With this in mind, The drives performed as follows

<D1 above> At 128KB the drive achieved 2,696,895MB/s Write and  2,729,419MB/s Read
<D2 above> At 128KB the drive achieved    995,109MB/s Write and     755,848MB/s Read
<D3 Above> At 128KB the drive achieved   720,415MB/s Write and  1,282,192MB/s Read
<D4 above> At 128KB the drive achieved   138,865MB/s Write and      144,890MB/s Read

Based on these results you can clearly see the speed advantage of the RAID 0 NVMe Drive D1 for the boot, and application, next the importing is second quickest on writes for D2, a RAID0 SSD, and then D3 almost as quick being a Single NVMe drivefor exports. Finally the slower HDD for older storage.
