I expand my pc with an 1tb ssd 980 pro nvme but because of lack of M2 slot i made it external
and connect it on usb 3.0
The purpose i bought it and set it up like this had to do with rolling Cache because i noticed it works imo, so i had tested it on another drive to experiment with it so i used at first my old kingston 240gb satadisk as it would serve well enough for this purpose.
Created a 40gb cache file of roling cache on this disk this worked but i found it was a bit to slow in reading and writing but there was activity and this separate disk and plenty of activity on network from Kb up to 3 digits Mbit p/s depending on where you fly and and in what kind of scenery you fly.
It seems to stream the data in the space where the rolling cache got created and get readiing for in the sim.
For this reason i decided to buy this new ssd i spoke of ealier in this post and the reason for this is speed in reading and writing for it is a lot faster than sata and i also created a 100gb space for rolling cache file, which i can easilly expand.
i created also a 40gb space for manual cache on this new disk although i still have to test that, and in the back of my mind i think because this will download directly (different protocol i think) it would be better to save this on the local cache map > scenery cache in the sim enviroment itself. But i have to test this yet
