I been seeing Nvme drive like addlink S90 Lite 119 for 2 TB which less then what i payed for 970 evo 1tb sata drive i have. I was thinking I getting either getting 512gb and droping my 128gb 830 samsung and using for OS only drive and maybe one or 2 games. or dropping the 128gb going with 2tb and partition it off for like 250gb for OS and rest for game drive. or possible partition off 512 gb if i went with that would partition said drive cause any issues? seeing MB is nvme 3.0 speed would probably be around 2500mb which fine with thing is the MB dont have HS for nvme which temps on these thing worry me. and Nvme slot shares lanes with 3 other sata ports, but i dont think i using any of that ports to begin with. would this be worth upgrade? i could easliy move drive to new system when i ever i actual fiqure out what i gona do for new system
not really what i was asking. would be issue of any kind with NVME if i partion say 2tb in something like 250gb for OS and rest for game drive,
the 830 128gb is the OS drive I have 860 evo 1tb as game data drive. I was thinking of geting the 2tb nvme which roughly the same price i payed for 1tb 860 at this point and pull the 128gb out and partion NVME in to 250gb just for OS and rest of the drive of games use 1tb data drive for save thing things. z170 only has 1 slot for nvme so i cant have 2 and it only 3.0 so i wont see 5/7gb till i update my pc. which might be on back burner for while. then i could experment with putting 128gb in and old laptop cause 5400rpms hdd sucked even back when they were thin in laptops
Since you already had a 1tb nvme ssd for OS/games and you motherboard only has 1 nvme slot why not consider a sata ssd as backup drive.
830 and 860 evo or both sata 3 ssd. i have no nvme drive currently. 830 is OS only and 860 evo is data/games
I dont see why not. Its a sensible upgrade. Get a nvme drive for os and use sata ssd as a secondary drive and move that 128gb to the laptop. Make sure you get pcie4 nvme you'll have a support for it when you build a newer system.
im been looking bunch but if i get non dram i drive i can get them $120 give take for 2 tb but i get dram verions there $160-$170. they only time I would ever go passed the 120-150gb transfer point where speed drop back down to 500mb or 1400mb in some new dram less drives is when I transfter data folder from drive to drive which rare only done when inintial move data from drive to drive. they all would be 7000mb drives it jsut iop all the drive i looking at rang from 350k to 1m some cases but that but $200+ for nvme 2tb is not happen. only reason i thinking about is cause i been seen them for 130$ i can get a inland for $144 which got some nice reviews i assume partions on these thing wont cause any issues and will pretty be same as hdd/sata ssds
