@Fasty07 Is that WD Black 1TB the SSD or old school spinning/mechanical disk? If you go back a page and read my post in the disk usage section, you'll see that Apex now loads the entire data off hard disk at start (around 5GB-6GB). On and SSD, that takes about a minute, so isn't a huge deal since it takes that long to get in your first match. On spinning disk, that will take 4-5 minutes, so it will affect your first match or more. Every time the game decides to read a lot of data from the drive, it will take really long for non-SSD PCs.

@lPumpsDadl It's the SSD, nvme.
I tried to check my disk activity during the drop, but i don't think the disk is guilty....

- 4 years ago@Fasty07 You'll be fine then. On SSD or PCIe (NVMe), the game finishes loading about 1 minute after opening the game. By the time you get a server for your first match, it has been more than 1 minute. I feel sorry for people on spinning disks (mechanical).
