You see my build in my sig

I'm currently looking to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD as my current SSD is pretty much full, so I've had to start installing programs on the harddrive.

At first I was thinking that I might just grab a 1 TB Evo and call it the day, but then I discovered that I can get an NVME M.2 SSD för the same price, which is actually faster.
While I understand that I won't notice that much difference performance wise in many cases as I'm not dealing with tremenously large files (such as video/photo editing), I might as well just grab the M.2 and get better specs for the same price.

But then it's not only about the speeds of course - which one of those will last the longest / can be written or read the most times before failure?
Also, will my Asus X99-A mobo bottleneck the M.2 card?

I think you should look at the new Samsung 960 EVO, which is just about to come out. Do a search for all the information, and you can pre-order them at http://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-960-evo-m-2-250gb-mz-v6e250bw/. I already pre-ordered one and am quite excited. If your motherboard doesn't have an appropriate M.2 connector, you can purchase an adapter which can be put in any 4x, 8x, or 16x PCIe Gen 3 slot. The speeds reported are glorious!
