In this moment, a large file transfer is running on my newly built PC. I am currently sitting on my old PC and doing other things in the meantime. In order to be aware of what went wrong (and when) (in case something goes wrong during the transfer), I have OBS set up to capture the screen.
The content is being copied from my phone's internal memory to the new M.2 NVMe SSD (4TB Samsung 990 Pro, my new PCs main storage) via USB Type-C cable.
Now my question: I don't know where on the SSD the capture is being saved, but the SSD is constantly being written to by the file transfer and by the capture. Does this result in a sort of alternating pattern in the file structure? Like, a few photos, then some MB of capture, then another photo or document, then some MB of capture, etc etc.? Something that would, once I delete the screen capture, make the transferred files be in an extremely unfavourable arrangement?
I do know it's an SSD and would likely not have trouble reading this, but I think that neat file arrangement in the SSD is still something good.
Or does the capture get written to some SLC cache on the SSD, before it then gets saved when I end the capture?
