Thats intresting... I was looking at getting the Samsung 840 EVO... Winder if I should rethink that.	Posté par DarkMain#3846 le 5 janv. 2014 à 06:32:20 Citer ce post
" Arrowneous a écrit : SSDs do eliminate the long PoE load times and zone change load times. On a quad core Intel Sandy Bridge 3.4 GHz cpu system with 8 GB ram and Windows 7 64-bit I can boot to a ready to go desktop with all drivers loaded and the AV finished with its processing in under 9 seconds. This is a Corsair 240 GB SSD which is rated at over 500 MB/sec read/write speed on a SATA 3 interface. Be careful with the newer SSDs that have the smaller NAND memory cells of 22 nm or less size as they will wear out faster. I'm watching the SSD Endurance Experiment tests being done over at The Tech Report: http://techreport.com/review/24841/introducing-the-ssd-endurance-experiment and the follow up: http://techreport.com/review/25681/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-testing-data-retention-at-300tb to see which drives are showing NAND cell failures first. Right now it looks like Samsung is pushing the NAND memory storage capabilities too hard (bleeding edge of technology) and their drives are showing the most errors to date. The testing is still ongoing and so the final results aren't in yet but all interested in purchasing an SSD drive should read these tech articles before making a buying decision. Only the 840 Evo suffers from this, and it took 200TB of writes to bring it to that stage. Your warranty will be well over it's due date by the time you write that much on a consumer desktop environment. " DarkMain a écrit : Thats intresting... I was looking at getting the Samsung 840 EVO... Winder if I should rethink that. The EVO will still be a very good drive 5 years down the line, unless you write above 100GB a day every day for a year. Sandisk Ultra 2, OCZ Vertex 4 (don't get anything else, anything and everything before the Vertex 4 is prone to die fast), Intel and Crucial are the most reliable of the bunch, with Intel at the top, then Samsung.

Intel drives are what I use for my customers. Never had a failure or complaint. Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins. Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart. I wish the office were empty right now :( Hardlicker - I had to push the dog out of the way so I could get to the sexy quilt.	Posté par ToxicRatt#5950 le 5 janv. 2014 à 11:16:26 Citer ce post
" RulerofAsgard a écrit : SSDs are just amazing. Computer used to take 3+ minutes to fully boot up - now it takes about 30 seconds. PoE used to take 1.5 minutes to load for the first time of the day, now it takes 15 seconds; load screens take under a second, and it's just all around better. All I need now is a wired connection and better ISP. PoE loads for 10 - 15 sec always. I dont have SSD. If you load slow into zones it is... maybe a game problem. I usually load pretty fast, not more than 3 seconds, sometimes it takes a bit more... more like never loads and i have to alt+F4 (very few times, just the game crashes) for some reason. But buying SSD for playing this game is not worth it imo. If you have problems with this game it is completely normal, the game is optimized really bad, and it has fps drops, and buying SSD wont change much. I think you will regret if you buy it, better upgrade your CPU or GPU. Because you are just loading as fast as i do w/o one. http://www.myit-media.de/the_end.html Dernière édition par MGTopgun#1427, le 5 janv. 2014 à 11:59:04	Posté par MGTopgun#1427 le 5 janv. 2014 à 11:57:24 Citer ce post

SSD's aren't just for games, they improve system responsiveness tremendously. You don't get FPS drops without a reason. Spells are very heavy on the CPU, as they are in every game ever.

SSD is so worth it. Not only for PoE, but for basicly everything. EVERYTHING. I refuse to ever use a PC without a SSD again.	Posté par ahcos#4542 le 5 janv. 2014 à 12:14:18 Citer ce post
SSD is such a huge speed improvement over HDD ... my PoE load times mirror what others have mentioned in this thread. The downside is that once you go SSD, you'll never want to go back. I actually dread using the computers at work because they are soooo slow vs. my home pc. BLAMT!	Posté par Zelpo#5887 le 5 janv. 2014 à 12:20:19 Citer ce post
I actually timed my loading times 5 months ago for a post in the technical forums. These were the results (Sata 3 Intel 510 SSD): Starting the game for the first time since windows started (from double clicking the icon to the login screen) : 11 sec Starting the game for the N time since windows started : 3 sec Clicking Play on a character to getting in town : 1 sec Loading a new docks : 2.5 sec Reentering the previous docks : 0.5sec Loadings are very fast with a SSD.

SSD is the best upgrade for your PC. Period. Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins. Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart.

I think you will regret if you buy it, better upgrade your CPU or GPU. Because you are just loading as fast as i do w/o one. Just timed my PoE load time and it came in at 53 seconds to get to the login screen. I'm running on a 3+ year old Samsung 1 TB drive partitioned into 4 and the Windows 7 Pro 64-bit is running in the C: drive (1st partition). This is an Intel Core-i5 660 with hyper-threading and OC'ed to 3.8 GHz, 8 GB of DDR3-1600 9-9-9-21 G.Skill ram, and I'm using an MSI Hawk 6870 GPU. At the time (about 4 years ago) the Samsung drive was one of the fastest mechanical drives available at a good price and I get 138 MB/sec read speed on track 0 down to about 75 MB/sec on the last track. This is good for a mechanical drive but no where near the 400 to 500 MB/sec read speeds of an SSD on a SATA 3 port. If you are over 1 minute on PoE startup time then there is a performance bottleneck somewhere. I use the very low cpu overhead Eset NOD32 anti-virus utility for Windows 7 and don't have other utils such as instant messaging or Skype running in the background to steal cpu cycles from PoE. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..." Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.
