A backup is a file that stores files in case something happens to the device being backed up. like saving a game on pc or console.. Hope it helps!

I know this is a necrobump, but I came here from Google and am trying to build a home Windows 10 PC, and I want to put in a Ryzen 1600x processor and Vega graphics card. But, I also want fast storage speeds. I've been used to the fast speed of this MacBook Pro in OP's post.

I have 3 questions.

  1. Is the drive in OP's post and M.2 NVMe drive?
  2. If it is, how fast is it?
  3. Would I be better off using a SATA SSD?
  4. Can you notice the difference in speeds?

what has this question to do with this thread? and than a 2 year old. cheeese

why don't u just google for the read/write speeds of the SSD??? hint: technical specification
 
Easy enough, if you search by model number.
OCZ RVD400-M22280-512G-A
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB

The Toshiba/OCZ, in theory, will be 4 to 5x faster than the Samsung, assuming the bus supports it at full speed.
Will you notice the difference? Depends on how fast you blink 😀
