Here is the comparison of coping files from HDD to SSD and from SSD to SSD
I have an HDD, which has a lot of game files. I want to move it to an SSD with a SATA connection.
Look, it is about 140MB/s. Higher 150MB/s, lower 110MB/s.
Based on the information I collected.
A standard HDD will read and write at typically 80MB/s to 160MB/s,
SATA SSDs typically peak around 500MB/s to 600MB/s.
So forget what exactly the type or module of the drivers are, the max speed I can get is 160MB/s theoretically.
I launched the Xbox app and changed the driver of Fallout 76(PC).
The speed of moving is 2.5Gbps. Converted to MB/s is 312.5MB/s
This speed is to move a game from SSD A to SSD B.
Then, I copied a folder with mp4 files from SSD A to SSD B.
Both SSDs are in SATA format. The speed is acceptable.
So in the future. HDD can only be used for the data not read and write often, just like an archive drive. I named it cold-data.
