Recently one of my RAM sticks malfunctioned so i will be upgrading my RAM from 16 GB (2*8GB) to 32 GB (2*16GB). I also came across a thread mentioning for best performance Sierra Charts should be installed on a dedicated SSD, and decided if i am making the RAM upgrade should get a dedicated M.2 NVME SSD as well dedicated for Sierra Charts - I already have 1 500GB M.2 NVME SSD as my main hard disk - I am adding another 500GB M.2 NVME SSD for Sierra chart - I already have Sierra chart installed on my system, is there documentation/best practices on how to set this up and things to consider before doing this - Will i need to re-download Sierra Charts or can i simply transfer from c:\\ to the new drive that will be dedicated to the dedicated Sierra SSD. I do not want to loose my chart-books and other settings |

or can i simply transfer from c:\\ to the new drive that will be dedicated to the dedicated Sierra SSD. Yes. But refer to:Transferring Sierra Chart Settings and Data From Existing Installation to New Installation: Simple Transfer/Copy of Sierra Chart Installation to Another Folder or Computer System Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Great. So, other than instructions mentioned in above link there are no other considerations/requirements when dedicating an entire m.2 nvme ssd for sierra chart |

Awesome Thank you this worked. All set for now. I got a 500 GB m.2 NvMe dedicated to Sierra charts. Is this overkill? How much storage does Sierra need? Want to re-assign the balance to v-ram My system: - 2 - m.2 NvMe 500 GB SSD's (one dedicated to Sierra Charts) - 32 GB RAM (2*16 GB) Waiting for RAM to come but previously while i had 16GB RAM (2*8 GB) and on initializing Sierra i noticed by Memory used to spike to 100%. By upgrading the RAM and dedicated SSD should reduce load. But as one SSD is dedicated to Sierra i can use possibly 50-100 GB as v-ram :). Want to future proof myself the best way i can Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-06-13 15:18:02

Getting this for myself as we speak - Samsung 970 plus NVME running at full speed. Benchmarked it and holy crap it's fast. Getting it all together will post back here after I use it a bit. |
