I am looking to add a 120 or 250 gb version of the Samsung 840 evo to my desktop build.
I saw they offer these drives in normal SSD form and an msata version.
I also saw on passmark that the performance scores for the msata version of the 120 gb version is roughly 25% better than normal SSD version, and its ranking is is 27 while the normal disk is 145. In fact the performance score even outdoes the 850 Pro 128 gb disk and its ranking reflects that as well.
I thought that msata was a lower end form of SSD's. If this little device is giving such good results is it something I should consider for my desktop machine or would I be better served by the normal 840 evo?
Also could I stick one of these on a motherboard msata slot and run my OS off it or is that strictly for the cache?
Thank you.
