I still haven't taken advantage of SSD Technology... I am about to purchase my first...
I currently have a Asus crosshair V Formula Z, I'm thinking of getting the Samsung SM961 256GB due to its low price tag... eventually I want to upgrade my AMD setup to an intel setup.... that means a new motherboard... In the mean time I have to focus on an m.2 adapter.
Focusing now on the adapter, what should I look for in a m.2 adapter? will some out preform others?
Once I upgrade my Mobo, we now have boards with m.2 ultra, so what gets us ultimate performance? the m.2 cards, are they compatible with m.2 ultra? Is the PCIe adapter not a good route anymore? and what ever happened to using a SSD with Sata? I'm sure m.2 is faster cause all benchmarks I have read points that route.
The question is what should my long-term plan be for my SSD? m.2, m.2 ultra, or a m.2 adapter?
I read somewhere that most m.2 can't take advantage of m.2 ultra yet? Something about:
standard M.2 is PCIe 2.0 x2
m.2 ultra is PCIe 3.0 x4
