Though, not everything showing that much difference in timing: Opening Win-7 in VirtualBox on NVMe drive took 15sec (to login) On Samsung EVO 850 SSD it took about 22sec. (to login).

You are correct, it wasn't any benchmark test. And yes, the old PC are about 10-year old and 3-4 years old; and the new one is just assembled. But I was surprised how fast the GnuCash open the database on a new box, so I time it for a curiosity.

It isn't particularly controversial to suppose that M.2 (NVMe) is going to be faster than SATA-based SSD, which is going to be faster than spinning disks. When you want to get to the exact differences you need to test on configurations that are otherwise identical, and also account for stuff like caching. Note also that M.2 is a form-factor, and you can find SATA-based M.2 drives which aren't going to perform any better than any other SATA-based drive. Also, since NVMe is far more capable than SATA/AHCI it matters even more exactly what NVMe drive you're talking about. The storage device itself, and the PCIe version can make a difference, and of course you need a CPU/MB that can actually take advantage of the drive's full capability. You might not need the max performance NVMe is capable of, but it is something you should be aware of if you want to benchmark it. -- Rich

I can hardly believe that. Does your duration include the entire boot process? If so, the times look quite alright, but that’s not what description says. Can you reproduce the same time when you close and then open gnucash a second time? (By then all files should be in cache and startup should be significantly faster if indeed the drive is responsible). > Box 3.) > M.2 SSD, CPU AMD Ryzen 7, 32Gib > Time to open GnuCash - 2.5sec If you indeed do include boot times, then I find this too fast.

Typo: it should be: Nothing scientific, but I was surprised how fast the M.2 disk is, so I decided to test how fast GnuCash loads my accounting; here it is: On 12/01/2020 02:46 PM, the...@sys-concept.com wrote: > Nothing scientific, but I was surprised how fast M.2 disk so decided to > time how fast GnuCash will load my accounting, her it is: > > Box 1.) > WD (spinning disk) CPU AMD-8150 (8-core), 16GiB > Time to open GnuCash - 23sec. > > Box 2.) > Samsung SSD 850, CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-Core, 16GiB > Time to open GnuCash - 15sec. > > Box 3.) > M.2 SSD, CPU AMD Ryzen 7, 32Gib > Time to open GnuCash - 2.5sec >
