Posted January 18, 20178 yr Instant windows boot anyone :biggrin: I got this to replace my aging SSD and since my new board is NVMe compatible I figured why not. A read of 3.2 GB/s its gonna be so fast :wub: Can't wait for it to get here. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147595&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-N82E16820147595&gclid=CjwKEAiAwfzDBRCRmJe7z_7h8yQSJAC4corOg42hzF-eqISFo3IlsZQECwBEhewxWj1AMljE-ngTMBoC8Tbw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
January 18, 20178 yr I didn't know you could boot from those drives. I was also looking at getting one of those in the future when the price comes down. Let us know how it work out.
January 18, 20178 yr Author Yeah you can now with the NVMe tech built into the new motherboards as soon as I can get a break from all this school work I'm gonna install it. Web design its pretty simple but so complex these assignments.
January 26, 20178 yr Author Everything loads fast pretty much most my games its less than 10 sec in any loading screen.
January 26, 20178 yr Ding ... can you load up Samsung Magician and post your readings? My 950 Pro is quick, but I don't think it's performing as quick as it should... might be motherboard settings not sure.. My 850 with RAPID mode enabled is way faster, but that mode isn't supported on the m.2 cards. I've read that once you really start filling them up they slow down, might be my case not sure. Here's my 950 Pro.... But look at my 850 Evo with RAPID Mode enabled!!...
January 26, 20178 yr Author Here are my results from magician its working pretty good each bench mark gives different results I personally like ATTO. Try running ATTO and see what results you get. I like ATTO because it tests all aspects and you can see where your drive shines. If your overall speed is low then there could be something wrong. Remember those are burst speeds and not too many programs except bench marks are going to take advantage of it. Plus don't bench mark it too much don't wanna kill it. Make sure your drivers are up to date and your firmware as well. Also depends on the motherboard too. There is just so many factors that affect these drives because they use the x4 bandwidth.
March 27, 20178 yr I have one of those now. I also have one of the new ones. The slot cards. those are apparently lightning fast. My windows is instant now like yours. load a battlefield 4 map in a matter of 5 seconds
