Most applications benefit from having MAXIMAL MB per second transfers speeds, but real time applications rely upon MINIMAL kB per millisecond deliveries to be responsive.

Maximum throughput is only achieved by running buffers full most of the time, which means EVERTHING is delayed.

It’s basic queuing theory. You get served more quickly at a bank if there is no queue, but the bank wants better teller utilisation which it gets by ensuring that there are always queues.

The drive manufacturers are like the banks in wanting greatest throughput for impressive specs, whereas your usage may require the fastest response. You need to make sure you choose the right drive criteria for your usage.

I feel that’s a bit of an untrue statement, it does not release it. running games on very high settings with a gtx 1060 6gb of ram paired with 16gb of system and the games simply crash when trying to open up other programs while alt tabbed giving an out of memory error, upon inspection of win10 task manager it shows around 7 gigs inside the cache at the time of crash when it said it was out.

So if that was the case it would of released whatever was inside the 7 gigs of cache and allowed more memory to run whatever i was alt tabbed trying to do.

Thus what led me here in search of do I really want samsung to take up around 25% of my ram for—-? what gain in performance? and where. Far as I can see it’s a compromise if you don’t have TONS of ram, (32-64gigs), In this case trading multitasking for speed.

Me too, so it doesn’t bother us at all.

Same here bro. No point of letting it go to waste right?
