Don't know where to start with that! You seem very confused. NVMe hard drives don't exist AFAIK (I can't see why they would).
Any SSD obviously doesn't have any moving parts and isn't directly related to NVMe in that sense.
NVMe's just a communications standard letting you get data across the PCIe bus (and therefore faster).
Oww, comeon roll , I am pretty sure that Bunnysniper knows that ) , he only somehow expressed himself badly.

Wasn't meant as a dig - just seemed a bit confusing. If it's just a translation issue - no biggie wink
I received the following specs for a workstation. I would like to get a review from members here and an opinion on whether it will serve our analysis and processing through Magnet Axiom. We received at least 5 HDD/SDD and about 20 email files monthly.Â

16GB is pretty low for a modern forensic workstation. I'd want 64gb at least personally. In fact I wanted 128GB for the box I bought not too long ago (but would have taken it above budget for the whole thing to do so).
I admire people who are in love with Xeons. However, the Xeons for reasonable money have a bowl of performance. The Xeon 5118 mentioned here has very low single-threaded performance. Likewise, multi-threaded performance is poor. Using 2 x Xeon 5118 is much slower than using one AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and more expensive. Although the AM4 platroma has its limitations, the price works wonders. If someone needs something more, it's the AMD sTRX4 platform and Ryzen 3960X.
My hardware:
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
64 GB RAM
SSD PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 - OS
SSD PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 - Case files
1 x SSD SATA - for some working files
5 X SSD SATA (RAID 0) - for image files
The whole thing cost a fraction of the price of 2 x Xeon 5118, and its performance is noticeably higher.
Take a look at the comparison:
