PC upgrade

[vaddiszno]

Hello!

I want to speed up my poker tracker.
I currently have: i3 10100 cpu, 16 gb ram, Samsung SSD 840 evo
I use my ssd with 2 partitions, one for the windows and one for the PT4 + database.


Is it a good idea to buy an m.2 ssd for the PT4 + database and use the another ssd for windows?
(My database is 50+ gb)

Or any better idea?

While I expect there would be a performance improvement with a faster SSD that's not something I can quantify for you and I don't know if any expenditure on new hardware would result in the gains you may be looking for. The biggest performance gains come from upgrading from HDD to SSD but you are already using SSDs. There are also other factors involved and unfortunately I don't have access to a suite of different hardware/software configurations for testing purposes. Another important consideration is the size of the storage if your database will be growing and it is ideal to have as much free space as the size of your largest database although for most operations that much isn't really necessary. Windows also works much more efficiently when you have a good amount of free disk space.
