FS2020 on SSD or Hard Drive

Featured Replies

If I install FS2020 on a hard drive, will it impact the fps compared to a SSD? I plan to install a lot of scenery addons.

No, but it will take a long time to load, You can put the scenery add ons on a hard drive. 

 

 

 

I don't think it will affect your fps if you have enough of ram and fast internet, but loading times will be painfully long.

You can put it will be slow to initial load. But however, I would definitely at least put the rolling cache in a SSD or even better in NVM SSD

You will quickly fill up 500 GB if you download a lot of photo scenery like I do Bert. I bought a 1 TB M.2 SSD and am beginning to wonder if it is big enough for the longer term.

Definately go for an SSD. An NVMe M.2 if you can.

Agreed!  I've got a 1TB SSD sata III and with lots of Community addons it's easily 7 minutes from double click to flying.  I usually just browse the net or plan something while loading.

I have the same experience. I have MSFS including the Community folder installed on an NVMe M.2. I do notice increased loading times when using large addons (more than 1 GB), but usually it loads fairly quickly. The NVMe is about 3400/2500 MB/s read/write. On a regular SSD it would likely be 5 times slower, and on a HDD I wouldn't even dare guess.

does it matter if it is a sata ssd vs nvme?

  • Author

would using a hard drive lower fps by 1-2?

  • Author

i dont care about load times. im just worried that a hard drive will stutter more and reduce fps. is that true that it will stutter more and reduce fps?

Stutter yes, fps no.

If i have 32 gb ram, will it still stutter?
