you got that pci ssd right homie?
>>51716199
They should have made the pcb white as well, and then I would have bought one to frame and hang on the wall.
>>51716199
$425 for 400GB
That's the price in my country
Nope
>>51716199
No I don't, Tyrone. So don't steal my shit.
Can you even boot Windows 7 from an NVMe PCIe SSD?
>>51716199
>he fell for ssd meme
>>51716268
Yes
>>51716199
tfw when you don't even have a ssd at all.
>>51716199
M.2 is better
>>51716487
>that moment when you fell for the meme too
I got the SATA-600 128GB from Samsung's 830 series.
Good enough for me.
I'd get a 500GB Samsung 850 if I had to do a new build.
Modern games take up so much space, 60GB installs don't fit next to my OS and the software I actually need.
>>51716199
>pci ssd
Kek. It's pci-e or bust
who /m.2/ master race here?
3 seconds boot time on windows 8.0, 2.5 seconds on linux mint (cold boot)
>>51718543
>>51718462
5gbs sequential read doe
How the fuck do you even boot from one of these?
>>51718636
they are like any other drive, what did you think?
>>51718649
So i dont need a semi modern motherboard?
>>51718649
because some motherboards wouldn't try to boot from a pci card

How viable is it to adapt an m.2 ssd to pci-e?
Going by ebay prices it seems you could have a working set-up for less than $90.
No, but I want one.
It's so minimalistic. If I had a PCI-E SSD, I wouldn't have to cable manage SATA cables anymore.
Yes
>>51716199
sure, i store all my movies and music on it.
>>51719944
>SM951
good choice
>Mfw still using a 40GB Intel X-25V
Any legitimate reason to choose a 950 PRO or a Intel 750 Series over a standard SSD, other than e-peen measuring?
>>51720146
If you have to ask then no. Now fuck off retard.
>>51716199
Its not worth it
>>51720162
I have to ask because there's literally 0 (zero) difference in the real world between the two. So why pay twice as much other than for having big numbers in that weeb disk bench software?
No, i'm serious here. Tell me.
Oh, and let's not forget about the overheating issue on the 950 PRO series.
Pcie ssds are for professional use imo. They take up a slot on the motherboard and use room like a vudeo card or other ocie based device would. All this when any good m.2 ssd would give decent speeds and be out of the way and not take up room. I mean shit, some good motherboards even offer dual m.2 slots.
For the common user even m.2 ssds are overkill. Theyre pricy but useful for mitx builders or those who are just looking to save space/harddrive slot/ sata port on the motherboard.
>>51718543
Hot damn, mine's in the mail right now
>>51718421
Enjoying that thermal throttling much ?
>>51718782
You know that m.2 is only a form factor, right ?
>>51720076
Actually it isn't. The 850 Pro is superior.
How viable would it be to get an NVMe drive and on boot load it into a RAM disk? Obviously the RAM would be ridiculously expensive and you would need to leave some RAM left over, but would it be worth it for a crazy-high-end build?

>How viable would it be to get an NVMe drive and on boot load it into a RAM disk?
It wouldn't.
>but would it be worth it for a crazy-high-end build?
No.
>>51722114
k
why
>>51716199
I bought the 500GB 850 EVO SSD. I'm unimpressed and think it's a total waste of money but one of my HDDs started making the head reset clicking noise which means I needed a new storage device anyway.
>>51716199
PCIe and .M2 Express SSD devices are the new "SCSI high RPM HDDs" of yesterday.
Higher premiums for superior I/O throughput that is overkill outside of an enterprise setting.
Your applications load times under SATA-III SSD are CPU-limited. .M2 Express and PCIe SSD device just makes moving GiBs of data quicker.
>>51720965
Not according to Anand benchmarks with the nvme sm951 vs the 950 pro.
>>51716199
Would rather get a 2TB drive desu.
>>51716199
I have an used Revodrive, at the moment bottlenecked because of PCIe 2.0x1 speeds.
>>51716199
Had
I had the 400gb 750.
Returned it after two weeks since I saw zero real life performance increase over my 120gb force2 ssd
So I replaced the Intel with the 512gb Samsung pro.
Still no major change from the corsair or the Intel ssd, but this was cheaper and 10 year warranty
no i got a samsung 850 500gb
>>51716487
You realize ssds are proven to be faster? It's not even, nor was it ever, an argument.
>>51716199
damn hell no girl
>>51719895
this. so much this. I've had tons of problems with bad or broken IDE/ATA and S-ATA cables. The quality can be from well enough to absolute shit, with an PCI-E SSD this hopefully would never happen again.
I bought a Kingston from Jet because it was only $25. It's faster than my HDD. I'm okay with this purchase.
>>51716199
Sure do! I have a Mac from the last three years.
