Just got my new Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD drive. In my old computer with PCI-E 2.0 x4 slot I am getting the speeds shown below. Once I get my reservoir fixed and can put it in my new computer with the PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot, I am told I can get speeds of 2-3GB read speeds.  The heat on this chip is 1/2 of the XP 941 and makes the computer load times and gaming so much faster. If you got the cash and a M.2 slot, this is the fastest SSD on the market. Attachments:

Looks like the specs my computer will have in about 10 years! It was actually quite affordable...about 1 dollar a gig gets you the fastest SSD out there. Sad thing is unless you got a motherboard with a PCIE 3.0 x4 slot, it will only give you tripple SSD read speeds. From a golf game perspective it won't make the game play any faster, tho load time will be a bit better. Now playing OTHER games that does a lot of reading/loading as you zone from one zone to another.. watch out. |

The hard part of building a computer is doing the research to find the right specs. The actual assembly isn't bad. It's figuring out what you want that takes forever.

Used to build my own pc's ages ago. Was thinking of putting one together as a little side project, and what you said is exactly right. Google-fu has turned up some great resources (a lot of which came thanks to reddit). This one is probably the most handy site I've come across yet. |
