How important is fast storage for a 8 player minecraft server ?
I have upgraded my minecraft server from a 3rd gen i5 to a Ryzen 5 1600 with 16Gb of 2666 MT/s ram . But the prefromance difference is not that big. which doesn't make sense to me because The processor is much faster with a dubble the ram size and speed the thing that stayed the same was a really old hardrive where the server is located

Forge doesn't have async chunk io, which will cause lag on hard drives. Also, I'd recommend getting a 3600 or 5600 if your motherboard supports it. First gen ryzen was notorious bad even when it came out

In server.properties, make sync-chunk-writes false
That should have a direct effect on disk performance, since the server doesn't have to write unrelated chunks at the same time. Putting this option to false is good enough that Paper forces it to be false on all paper server, since there are no downsides.
@Fire
Okay thanks, since it can't have any downsides I'll defenitly turn it to false
