Quick question: Using an M2 drive to run Daz in?

timmercado1975

Hi folks, new user here, cooking my first (and really first serious) render in years.  I've been wanting to get into this for a loooooong time now, but in the older days, never really stuck it out to learn things.  The learning curve in programs such as this and Poser can be pretty daunting.

So, now, I've actually gotten into trying this out pretty deep... Watching lots of tutorials, getting my library (kinda?) sorted, and trying to mess with iRay, lighting and composition.

Now that I am in process of rendering my image, I wonder... Would this program benefit from being installed on an M2 drive?  Something like this:

Now, I don't pretend to know much about this, I can only fathom so far that they write incredibly fast (supposedly).  Have any of you tried this?  Does Daz Studio benefit from the speeds of these drives?

Naturally, I'd still try and have my content library on a seperate drive.  I just don't know how this would affect the speed of the program in general if mounted on a drive like this. 

Any of you tech types have any experience or input into this?  Or is speed of rendering primarily a function of GPU (and cpu) and drive type really isn't an issue?

Have fun rendering!

Drive speed would only have an effect on the time it takes a scene to load - it wouldn’t have any significant effect on render time, since once the render starts, everything is in CPU or GPU RAM.
