I have an SSD which is getting low on space (50GB without d/l data) and a SATA HD with plenty of space.

 

Is there a speed advantage to storing the tick data on my SSD? Should I d/l the raw data on my SATA and place the converted data on my SSD?

yes, HDD is very slow in compare to SSD, and SSD is couple times slower then M.2 drive,

 

the READ & WRITE speeds are what i mean,

 

you can increase these speeds by having a lot of RAM and use this: PrimoCache google it.

ThanX for the replies guys. My original question was poorly thought out, lol, as obviously an SSD will be faster and the large amount of data won’t fit into 16GB RAM.

 

But I’ve hardly started thinking about more RAM, and PrimoCache looks very cool. I’ll buy that.

 

I currently have 16GB parallel RAM. I guess upgrading it to 64GB would increase speed quite a bit.

You will need 64GB of RAM for PrimoCache yes there is no point in using it with 16GB of RAM. 🙂
