[memoriess]

Hey guys, which one will you all recommend? I am looking into venture into either one of them for ssd. Please advise.

Make sure your motherboard EFI got support for NVMe first... Do check for EFI update...

Get Samsung SM951 lai.....

Oh wait that one still AHCI PCIe SSD.

PCIE AHCI... don't bother looking at m.2 ssd...

Are u toking about form factors or technology (e.g. Ahci, nvme)? Both form factors also got these two technology....lol

Normal ssd best la

why sm951 not nice?

What is NVMe?

 

[ondooy]

What is NVMe?

non volatile memory express, uses NVMHCI which is better than ahci...

 

[Op_Valkyrie]

why sm951 not nice?

Sm951 ahci got better mixed read write performance than nvme....due to Windows driver issue...

M.2 is for slim/mini HTPC build, PCIE is good but ex so wait till they (if) are popular which i doubt so... using expansion slot is not a popular choice imo

get this motherboard, 3xm.2 pcie 3.0 x4...

I am using msi x99s gaming 9 ack, is it possible to use samsung sm951?

 

[ondooy]

i am using the sm951 256gb. not bad.

i also wanted to try m.2 but standard ssd cover look more glamorous, they should start to package it lol...

Yeah green PCB on most M.2 products really disrupt the beauty of the colour themed motherboards.
