A while ago I noticed that my 128gb SSD had too little storage for my needs. Ever since I have been in the market for a new. I figured that if I was to get a new SSD I might as well upgrade to the new PCIe interface, as I heard that it was much faster. Are these NVME PCIe drives actually faster? On paper they are proven faster but do they actually offer a tangible performance difference in practice? I have had my eye on a Samsung drive, but they are a little pricey sometimes. Do you guys know of any 250GB to 500Gb PCie SSDs under $150. Ideally I would like to pay under $100. I am willing to buy used (is that a bad idea?).
Also, I had concerns that my old FM2+ motherboard would not support it. Does the ASUS A78M-A
FM2+ motherboard support PCIe SSDs? I am thinking about upgrading my CPU and motherboard anyways, but I wonder if can start using a PCIe SSD now? If not, what sort of motherboard does support it.
