>he doesn't have an m.2 ssd
what's the matter /g/? don't care about load times?
I don't have a motherboard that supports it.
Upgrading that will mean new CPU, cooler, etc etc
My 4 SSDs are fast enough for the timebeing

i got a raid0 ssd that does 1GB read
m2 stick does 1.7 for 30 sec max
i dunno...

fucking lol

I wonder if all these smug female anime gifs/pics is the same guy. And on other boards too.
I mean it has to be. You always pick out something from either the OP or someone's comment and attach a smug anime pic.
Fuck off already, retard.
Would like one but it's a bit too expansive for me right now, waiting for the prices to drop.
>>52056650
How long till it becomes standard in plebian notebooks?
>>52056861
Probably never since plebooks only have the cheapest hardware.
>>52056729
This. i'm still happy with my Q6600
my P8Z68 mainboard doesn't have such a slot

Welcome to 4chan, newfag.
My 850 Pro is faster than my frinds M.2 SSD im not even joking.
>>52056923
>>52056931
Only the nvme ones are really fast (2000mb/s) and are shit expansive. Your friend probably bought a regular m2 ssd that is probably cheaper then your 850 pro.
>>52056977
It's a good trick.
>>52056977
when there's a real trick, the last line reads 'read the first letter of each line.'
>>52056885
So you're saying SATA ports are more expensive? I wouldn't think so. Also the drives themselves are cheaper as they don't require a case or anything.
Thinking of getting this, the price is good

any tips?
>>52056794
I have a sata ssd... my motherboard only supports sata 2. Feels bad man.
>My mobo doesnt have an m2 port
pic related, pci to m2 and it costs like 10$
>>52057047
256GB one writes alot faster. However if you just want super fast read speeds for muh boot times I guess the 128GB version is good enough and for the price difference you could always buy another regular sata ssd for additional storage.
>>52057097
That's not PCI, that's PCI Express.
So when will Intel 3d Xpoint be released? It should be much faster than a flash based ssd.
>>52057155
If you take intels word for it, I think the current hardware will bottleneck it and we need some new mobos for that shit to work.
>>52057194
Just like with any recent intel hardware.
>>52057194
Intel are probably going to put some of it on the cpu itself so I don't think it will bottleneck there.
>>52057280
Oh god please no. They will pull the same shit as laptop manufacturers do.
>i5, 128GB ssd
>i7, 256GB ssd
Cus, you know, you need more cpu power to handle that storage!
>>52056833
I bet all pepes get posted by the same anon too
>>52056650
I'm waiting for the holidays to end to get the real deal.
Pic related.
>>52057097
It's nice not having it take up any actual slots in a case.
>>52058458
>16 gb ram
Are you this fucking poor? You want some money? Some food? I hope it's not too cold out there.
>>52058528
I don't even know what you are implying. Please explain.
>>52058458
>only 16 lanes
>M.2 uses 4
What do the GPUs use? 4 and 4?
>>52058545
It's practically 2016 ffs. 32 G ram is the bare minimum. And also, ddr3? My sides lmao.
>>52058590
x16 and x8, what are you talking about?
>>52056650
>being an early adopter
Never. Not even once.
>>52058642
>Max # of PCI Express Lanes 16
Nope
>>52056650
Im fine with my load time on my 8 year old wd caviar blue gives me time to go get water and do w/e else
*3: M.2 Socket 3 shares bandwidth with SATAExpress_1
*1: The PCIe x16_3 slot shares bandwidth with USB3_E12 and PCIe x1_4. The PCIe x16_3 is default at x1 mode.
*2 : The PCIe x1_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIe x1_3. The PCIe x1_2 is default disabled.
wish ports would just workâ˘
>>52058545
Why would you feed it?
>>52058663

The m.2 doesn't share any bandwidth with the pci-e the graphics cards are plugged into according to these specs.
>>52058731
Oh I thought you were using >>52057097
You know, like you linked to.
>>52058749
No, I was saying that it is better to not use one of those.
>meme drive
brb, dropping $300 to decrease my boot speed to 4 seconds to 2
>>52056650
>don't care about load times
exactly
>>52056650
I have a SATA III SSD connected to a SATA II bus and that's already great. Actually right now it could be better, the current connection is SATA III SSD -> SATA II laptop -> FireWire 800 -> FireWire 400 -> desktop
