if you're in the deck then chances are you've either experienced or heard of a thing called an MDMA and got to drive though do you actually need one of these drives today I'm going to be testing this M 2 versus an SSD this is a hard disk drive to see what's really going on lower the text CD this is brian coming to you guys today with some real-world benchmarks except one of them which is a synthetic but going on with the contenders first we've got here a 5400 rpm Western Digital hard drive now hard drives are still very popular to this date so it's actually good to include one of these and see how worse it fares compared to the other two that being said though we have an SSD which is a crucial MX 300 and then we have an m dot to drive here which actually uses the PCIe lanes to transfer data as opposed to the hard disk drive and solid-state disk which also transfer via a thing called side of three so getting on into the first benchmark here we have synthetic benchmark called a s SSD we can see that the nvme drive did score a major victory over the other to the SSD did hammer the hard drive and the hard drive just really couldn't complete this benchmark it took me like an hour to do this benchmark on the hard disk drive and it's not really intended for these drives but anyway next benchmark we had it was the boot test and the SSD in BO cm to drive pulled well ahead of the hard disk drive though the difference between the nvme drive in the SSD was virtually little with the m2 actually getting edged out by the SSD so the SSD was the fastest in this test and that probably came from the PCIe MDOC truth having utilized an extra layer of initialization there the next benchmark we had here was booting up a game we had battlefield 1 and the nvme SSDs again scored very similar there was nothing between these two drives and also the hard disk drive coming well behind those other two moving on to the next benchmark loading up a browser with five different tabs from a fresh boot this was in Chrome and we can see here that the nvme and SSD really scored in the same league and then the hard drive again falling a little bit behind so then I decided to do some more intense benchmarks which I guess would favor people who are doing productivity and we would look at the file transfers when within the drive itself we see the m2 ahead of the S then in the SSD pulled ahead of the hard disk drive and the same goes when we decided to do the next benchmark which is Adobe Premiere Pro and this had to do with loading files into a fresh project on Premiere Pro we can see here that the nvme actually scored a victory here by a little bit compared to the SSD and the SSD and the nvme both came well ahead of the hard disk drive those you guys saw in the benchmarks the hard drive was well behind the m-dot to drive the SSD so if you are on a budget then a hard drive is still going to be a pretty good choice keep in mind as well this was a 5400 rpm drive which is actually quite a bit slower than a 7200 rpm drive also on that note if you are a gamer then you're not going to generally get extra FPS out of using an SSD versus a hard drive though if you are then there might be something wrong with your computer though if you can afford an SSD then I highly recommend them even if it is a 32 gigabyte drive that they're going really cheap on Amazon as they'll make your OS boot a lot faster make your browser and all your core files load up a lot quicker as opposed to a standard hard drive so now it's time to answer that final question of who actually needs an nvme drive and as you saw on those benchmarks the boot test in the game boot test there really wasn't anything or any difference between the SSD and MDOT 2 that is if you're a gamer you're not really going to benefit from buying an nvme drive except for those extra synthetic speeds the weather did come into play was when I did those file transfers and also that Premiere Pro boot and load in test with those files so you can see in a Productivity environment when you actually really need those raw speeds that's when the m2 darts to become of good value so that we have it if you guys are gamers then you're probably best off saving your money and just going with an SSD versus MDOT to drive though if you are doing productivity work and you need something that's really fast and you need to save time for example you need a fast dump drive for Premiere Pro then you may want to go with an nvme drive and of course if you're on a budget then nothing is going to beat the hard drive for raw data for the money and I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what setup are you running for data configuration at the moment we'd love to hear your comments as always and I'll catch you in the next tech video very soon peace out for now bye and the hard disk drive which both use sided to 0-3
