Hi folks,

Was just wondering how much of a performance hit these kind of drives take when things get loaded onto them.....im referring to games here in my case.

I have a 512gb Samsung SM951 NVME M.2 drive and the benchmarks I was getting just after windows was installed looked like this:

Then after installing 3 games through steam (Black Ops 3, Alien isolation & Doom). The next day I ran another benchmark test just out of curiosity and got:

Looks like a bit of a hit on the write side of things.
