Man I like the look of these. I really want one for an OS drive. Currently have an OCZ ARC 100 240GB for my OS. Reads max 490 read about 450mb write. I have 2 SanDisk for game drives. Both do avg 550/550 read/write. Thats enough for now.
Cant wait to get one, if anyone has a link please post! I am running a Kingston SV300 SSD. It is the infamous drive that had a chipset change that killed the performance mid-production and we all bought based on bad benchmark data. https://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssdnow-v300-a-switch-to-slower-micron-nand
I have been wondering for some time, those file copy tests, how do they actually translate into real world performance (other than MB/s). I get that from a testing standpoint it's easy, but it all seems a bit ambiguous to me. Point being, does it actually make a huge difference? I have yet to see an NVME drive provide tangible benefits outside heavy workloads, i.e. loading up your OS from a SATA drive isn't really slower. TL;DR While file copy tests are great, what kind of loading times are we looking at compared to firing up a game from a SATA based drive instead?
