Your organization's Visual Arts Department edits 4K video and large graphic projects that require very high sustained read/write throughput. You have been asked to recommend an internal storage solution for their new workstations. Which drive type will provide the best overall performance for these workloads?
A PCIe NVMe solid-state drive delivers the highest sequential and random read/write speeds (often 3 GB/s or more) because it has no mechanical latency and uses a high-bandwidth interface. This allows large multimedia files to be opened, saved, and rendered much faster than on rotary or hybrid media. 7200-RPM hard drives and external USB 3.0 HDDs top out around 150-200 MB/s, and solid-state hybrid drives cache only a small portion of data, so sustained transfers still depend on the slower spinning platters.
