What's the Best Way To Move To A New HDD

[popeyespappy]

For the pc gamers/overclockers, even sata SSD's are becoming obsolete, hence the price drop.

NVME (non volatile memory) memory sticks communicate directly with the cpu bus and are roughly 4-5 times faster than the 6Gig/s sata bottleneck...
(Never thought in a million years I'd call the 6Gig/s sata standard a bottleneck!) Murphy's law is relentless...

That's fucking cool. I haven't been in the PC market for a while so I didn't know about these, but I'm about to buy a machine for processing audio, video and shit tons (hundreds of thousands) of images. I'm going to have to look into this. I don't have a really big budget, $2000ish, but I don't need high-end graphics either so I may be able to squeeze NVMe in. I'm still going to end up with a bottleneck somewhere because the terabytes of data I'll be working with is going to mean there are standard HDD's in the process somewhere, but the files will be arriving in batches. If I could batch process 100 GB of data at a time on an NVMe drive it would probably speed things up considerably. Maybe not though because moving stuff from the HDD to the NVMe and back would add a step to the process. I still wouldn't mind building an insanely fast workstation for this project though...
