Hello all, I'm not a pro at this, so I'm asking for some recommendations. My son's PC is also for his games and when I rebuilt his PC I bought the Samsung SM951 AHCI for the M.2 slot as his primary drive. Well it didn't take too long to fill up the 256 GB capacity, so I bought a 500 GB Samsung EVO 2.5" hard drive. The specs show that the M.2 256 GB is much faster so I was thinking that I might just add the EVO as a general storage hard drive for him to place his games there, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Howard
I agree, however depending on the use and the desired performance gains, it might be the other way around. I will be getting the 512GB 950 Pro M.2 Samsung SSD to put my VMs and databases on it, while I run the OS on the still insanely fast 850 EVO. For the question asked - definetly the M.2 should be the main drive. Still, I would throw few games on it
Sounds good guys, thanks for the replies. I'll keep the M.2 for the operating system - that should make things easier anyway as now I'll just add the EVO as a storage drive and no cloning necessary.
