Bertrand Kim Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Hi folks, The amount of time it takes to save ICS is staggering. For a single file of about 300MB including external linked parts, with Samsung 980 PRO, the saving time is usually 10~30 seconds, which is way beyond my patience. So I'm looking for making saving time rapidly as my rocket!! Does anyone have any idea how much time I could save by doubling the read & write speed of the Hard Disk? 10%? 20%? 30%? Or 50%? Anyone tried IronCAD with this? Kim Edited March 17, 2023 by Bertrand Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertrand Kim Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Okay, RAID0 won't help, since IronCAD only uses 100MB/s at peak while saving. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yli Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 IronCAD file save time can be considered 2 portions: 1. Process internal IronCAD data and put them into memory stream. 2. Write the memory stream to Disk. It depends on the file. The percentage of the 2 portions can be different significantly. If the first portion takes 80% of time, double disk writing can only save you 10% of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertrand Kim Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Thank you very much YIi. I think I'll try changing the memory first. I'm currently using DDR4 4000Mhz. I've been googling to see if increasing the ram speed will increase the saving speed, but I haven't found any meaningful benchmarks, I'll have to try it myself.

jolizon590016 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hi Kim, This was my frustration before but it less for now on the ics model. I moved my paging file away from the system drive to a larger drive with a lot of space so it can expand and shrink without squeezing available spaces in mix on C:\ system drive. My C drive is a NvMe, D drive is a sata SSD and E a 2GB 7200 hdd. I worked with 50-60 mb model files. It was an improvement when I placed projects on SSD. I was lucky enough to get a pair of 32 GB(64GB) DDR4 3200 during a sale. I used to have 2x16GB(32GB) it was fine but the sale was to hard to resist. This made easy with working with 30+ icd drawing sheet. Saving drawings does save longer a bit. If I left the virtual memory/page file as system managed, it was really slow with bigger projects.
