Wow thats a mouth full. Rolling Eyes

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820249077

$159.00

Thinking about this sudo afordable M.2 ssd to slot into my new mobo but not quite sure I can justify the 2x more $ per gig expense just to have slightly faster bootup and level load times. Anyone have real world experience with M.2 PCie SSDs?

Not worth it IMHO for M2......standard SSD is so fast as is. Not big enough to load lots of games on, so why change?

Fast enough as-is? This a M.2 that Shinare posted vs a SATA 850 EVO 250GB

Code


      Max Read    Max Write    Read IO/s    Write IO/s
SATA   540 MB/s   520 MB/s      97,000       88,000
M2    2000 MB/s   900 MB/s     210,000      230,000


I agree that for gaming, 256 is too small big gaming but for OS and small gaming it is on average 2-4x faster. That is significant. Its also more compact, requires no cabling, and is simpler to deal with once installed.

Still not worth the money and hassle of OS install etc. Boot a few seconds faster for $150? Meh......

My cheapass bone is leaning more to the Brules side on this one. Plus, for medical reasons, I may be moving away from keyboard/mouse gaming to more controller style gaming (if I even continue to game) so a PS4 or Xbone might be in my future.

Just re-evaluate your desk situation. Get or make a corner L shape desk that you can rest your arms and elbows on. Eliminates any CTS issues.

Interesting, I might have to rearrange and give that a try.

Not to mention, almost every game these days can be played on PC with a controller. Xbox 360/XB One controllers have native support in Windows.

Games that don't have controller support, you can use Xpadder to map to keys.

Or you could try a Steam controller. Switching to a console is just a waste of money. Razz

Exactly.

And exercise in futility.

Trying to go from PC to console is like cutting off 4 fingers from your hands. It works, but frustrating as fuck to live with.

I'm planning to get one of these soon. My new motherboard has a slot for it between my video cards. OS and games only of course. Probably going to get the 512gb or 1tb card.

If they get the price of a 1tb down to $150, Im sold. 256gb is almost worthless with the size of Windows and games now a days.....
