You don't need a large NVMe drive for swap - I've installed 2 x 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus drives. You will probably get a lot of the benefit from having one.
You've invested quite a bit in the CPU so it's a shame to hold it back by slow swap performance.
ps...nice SOL also! |
Interesting. I actually have 2 NVMe 2Tb Corsair drives and thanks to your heads-up , have now pointed the swap files to them. The performance certainly improved! ....but does not match the swap performance of your system.
I guess the Samsung's are a faster drive.
