i am looking , because of my work for the max response and speed on browsing . Will i see any difference with this uppgrade ?

Well considering that your browser start in 1 second and that each tab you click start in 1 second too. What speed increase are you expecting?

 

[logainofhades]

I doubt it would improve browsing. Once the browser is open, it is mostly handled by your ram, and speed would also depend on your internet connection.

If you want the fastest drive possible you need DDR4 RAM and create a RAM drive with a portion of your DDR4 then install your browser on that. Since a RAM drive will lose all the files in it if you power down your system you have to reinstall the browser every time you shutdown and boot again but compared to an m.2 the speed of a RAM drive is quite amazing. But this is useless since the difference won't even be noticeable.

Do you mean ramdisc program for doing that ?

i dont download or upload big files, but i open many tabs all day and i want my browser to be snappy and very fast. I get tired ,end of day if not.

What is your RAM? How much GB do you have and what speed they are?

RAM drive are so much fun. It's been like 20 years since I created one but still. Just doing transfer speed test and loading a game in that is fun to watch.

If you give me your full system specs I will be able to know why it's not snappy for you to begin with. Any system with a SSD and at least 8GB of ram should run a browser just fine even with lots of tabs.

If you already have a solid state drive, a newer one won't help here. RAM, CPU speed and your internet connection quality is what you need to look at.

i dont care so much about many tabs. I care about and click i do on browsing to be snappy and fast. Load page fast as possible and anything to be fast.

Can't tell if you don't give us your system specs. I would recommend changes on your system if I knew what you have.

I have a Thinkpad T440s. I7 4600u, 12 gb ram 1600 ddr3, samsung 560evo 250gb

Even 5400rpm hard drive is faster than your Internet speed. Altough browsers keep cache files, this don't affect "snappiness". Stop worrying about nonsense.

No.
During web browsing, little is written to the drive. Small temp files.

You're chasing the wrong hardware for better performance in that use case.

 

[DSzymborski]

Yup, talking about a RAM disk to improve web browsing is like buying a new toilet to improve the efficiency of your furnace. Yeah, there are reasons you'd want to replace your toilet, but none have much to do with the efficiency of your home heating.

 

[manolis kokotsakis]

I understand is a not need uppgrade at all.
Thank you all of you.
