Unlock the Full Potential of Your Storage Subsystem for Maximum Performance

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Storage Subsystem for Maximum Performance
← INDEX

A little breakdown of things you should know on how effectively use your storage sub-systems.
I’m describing procedure for future me, because i can forget all these marvelous bits of information in a while.
Remember, i am dumb [sometimes, sort of].

  • Operating system, temp folder, swap file, repositories and databases all go to OPTANE drive [PCIe4 minimum]
  • If you have loads of RAM like 64Gb or more drop RAM disk managers they introduce undesired latencies
  • Experiments showed that SWAP file should be FIXED and not less than 16Gb
  • Big multimedia data assets like applications, games, videos go to fast NVMEs like WD SN8100 [PCIe5 minimum]
  • Disable f#cking hybernation and fast startup: powercfg /h off
  • Turn off power savings in windows control panel PCI Express -> Link State Power Manager -> OFF
  • Set High performance mode in windows control panel
  • Disable ASPM in BIOS ASPM -> OFF
