  Which HD is best to export to?

  Posted by Nick Thiele on March 10, 2021 at 4:17 pm

  I have three hard drives and don’t know which one is best to export to for optimal render speed. Here’s my setup:

  C: NVMe (OS and Applications)

  D: NVMe (Disk Cache)

  E: SSD (Project Files)

  Of the three drives, where should I be exporting my files to for the fastest render?

  SSD assuming it’s large enough.

  You are using an NVMe just for cache only?

  Can you specify the sizes and how these drives are connected?

  It doesn’t really matter if you have some kind of backup system after a render.

  I tend to render to the desktop (C in some cases) then move it over to a different drive after.

  But only if I have no choice which is sometimes on set using a laptop.
