SSD Drives On Steroids Finally Hitting the Mainstream

(1/4) > >>

Looks like Samsung is going to be putting M.2 (pci-e based) SSD drives into the mainstream.  These things are quick.

Nice. The 256GB model will make for a fantastic OS drive. Amazing that just a few years ago, this sort of performance would've cost a couple of grand from a PCI-e slot drive. Now they're starting at $200!

I've been living with a 128GB OS drive on my laptop for some time now.  It's doable with some discipline in using external storage and the cloud, but 256 feels like it would a sweet spot for me. 

Awesome stuff, quick, big, and relatively cheap!

kapanak:
The EVO version of the 850 M.2 drives have been out for quite a while now, and they perform roughly the same as the SATA based 850 Pro. I look forward to seeing the performance jump with the M.2 850 Pro.

Luckbad:
Added to the Christmas list. I've been waiting for proper m.2s to hit reasonable prices.
