I currently have 2 2.5 samsung 850 EVO 1TB drives ready to be installed in my new build. However my motherboard has a m.2 slot using a PCIe x4 bus. Should i just use the two 850 EVOs (1 as a use drive and the other as game storage) or will I see substantial gains if I get a 950 Pro m.2 drive as an OS drive and then set up the 850 EVOs in RAID 0 for faster gaming load times? Some experience here will be greatly appreciated.
