The most important part besides the processor power / gpu and ram is the hard drive, and should be a NVME SSD - it literally outperforms a standard SSD by 4+ times when it comes to render time, and makes big project backups within a few minutes. > [@Is a NVME SSD worth it for Unreal Engine?](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/is-a-nvme-ssd-worth-it-for-unreal-engine/424938): > > Hey guys, I will soon buy a new computer because my PC just does not have enough power. But I’m not sure if I should buy a m.2 NVME ssd or a normal Sata SSD. According to the Internet, NVME SSD’s are only wet if you work with programs that load and save continuously from the data store and also consist of big data. Now my question: Do you notice when working with the Unreal Engine 4 and a strong processor a difference between an NVME and an SSD?
