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

[Angrboda]

Benny, give it a few years and plug in graphics cards (like sound cards) will be a thing of the past also...

Doing the big upgrade next year (not so easy with the custom water wall pc). Not buying anything till the last minute as things change so quickly.... Was looking at raid Nvme (so many good raid5 M2 motherboards out there) ... As it turns out, no real difference ... The single Nvme is so fast anyway, the raid overhead soaks up any noticeable difference... That's makes life a little easier anyway...

My experience is that RAID 1 is/was faster on traditional hard disks than on single disks due to rotational latency. Not sure there's much overhead to be concerned with. I know there's CPU overhead, but whether there's any overhead in terms of reading and writing, I don't know. Given that the buffer of one NVME can be filled as a result of queueing while the other is read/written, there might actually be a speed up.

I'm skeptical of the idea that graphics cards will be replaced any time soon. I'm using an older Radeon 7770, but even then, there's a noticeable difference between it rendering streaming content and the onboard video. Graphics simply requires substantial hardware. As long as that remains the case, there will be incentive for differentiation.
