In an attempt to look for super-speedy SSDs without RAID and without breaking the bank, I've managed to find the SM951 SSD. It's reasonably more expensive (about 40 dollars more). I've read that games as a whole aren't really affected by the speed of your storage (within a margin of realism and real-world performance), but I've seen several forums where people rant and rave, throwing flowers and chocolates made for Kings and Queens at the m.2 pcie ssds as a cure all for everything...
If I wanted good wiggle room, I'd probably go for the 960 pro 512GB SSD,but 370 USD seems a tad... shall I say, unreasonable?
I realize that new tech, especially from Samsung, is paying a hefty premium. But when I can find not necessarily value oriented SSDs at 1TB for less than 300 dollars, a 512GB SSD seems a rather tall order for any reasonable wallet.
I am fully aware of the dreaded Diminishing Returns when it comes to pc building. I have 32GB of ram and while I would like to do some nice coding, light CAD, and the occasional pfaffing about in the nearest editing program, I mainly want it for the "I'm never going to run out of room with this setup so multitask-game-edit away!"
On that note, would it be of any use to me to go for an m.2 pcie SSD over the standard sata 3 2.5 SSD?
