I've been looking around now for a few weeks, but the market is so
confusing.
Money is not much of an object; well, let's say 5k GBP max.

Should I get one purpose-built? Or a new year bargain?

My gut feeling says 16GB RAM (DDR7); 500GB SSD with 2TB spinner; good
video card; i7 quad-core CPU.

Who knows better?

And of course the SSD is not a hard drive looking one but one of the
newer card type SSDs that plug directly into the mobo.

A friend of mine did some research, and I have no idea what he was
talking about, but there seems to be different interfaces for these
SSDs.Â* Some go through the SATA port and some right onto the mobo.Â* Not
sure but like a PCIe card?

Again I don't know but it's worth looking into, that or someone else
will give you better details.Â* All I remember is he went from slow data
rates to super fast rates that exceeded and SSD HD I've seen.

Yes, good luck, if money isn't the issue, you should be able to easily
do it, it's just finding the right stuff.


Hi AL, I think you mean MVNe -m2 drives, Yes superfast.
