SSD-Type about xcodebenchmark HOT 7 CLOSED

The same, I use ram memory mapped to a separate volume for my projects source code and Xcode's derived data, and difference is huge, 235 seconds on built in hard drive (Fusion drive) vs. 175 seconds on ram volume.

@Pe-te, it looks like the original problem is solved. I am closing the issue.

Feel free to open it again if you have any suggestions.

Hi @Pe-te,

Thank you for the suggestion. I agree that type of a storage matter.

I added a comment to the Contribution section:

if you have any non-Apple hardware components - submit your results to the Custom Hardware table.

Hi @mikehouse,

I tried ram storage for Derived Data (but not for projects because there is no guarantee that your work will be saved), and I think it's a great speed up for HDD, but there is almost no difference if you use SSD. Moreover, it might add additional overhead for OS to move your data to/from disk if there is not enough free memory.

Hello @devMEremenko,
I agree when there is ssd no needs to use ram volume at all. My workstation mac mini at the company's office has fast nvme ssd I don't see any differences vs. ram at my home iMac (fusion drive 1 TB). But I see a lot of speed improvements on hdd iMac for my work flow when moved all apps (AppCode, VSCode, ... except Xcode as it is too big ))) ) and projects there. For projects syncing I use rsync cron task. When there not enough memory I just redo volume with new size, I cannot utilize all 64 GB memory anyway even with ram volume.
