In this video we look at stats between the top drives. The Firecuda 530 is a fast drive overall. The Firecuda 530 just like all other drives does overheat. Does it cause a significant issue though? Well, yes and no. In this video I am comparing the top drives specifically with the WD SN850 to see how the big data transfers affect performance. The question is about use case scenario and how it is used based on workflow. The average gamer will not have an issue. The average creator or professional will not have an issue. The only time people will see it in a noticeable manner is when they overload it with data. ie. over 75 percent. In all other cases, someone who transfers daily 500+ GB of data will notice the slow down. So the question just become work flow and use case.
This video is made more for creators and other professionals. The testing I am doing is based on my goals with best performance for my creative workflow. I am sure people will be find interest to their workflow.
