Hey lads,

 

Just a few questions about M.2 SSD's. The 530 series M.2 is on sale for $30 off, and I was thinking about picking it up.

Will the PCIE M.2 perform better then the motherboard M.2 socket?

And, what are the perform differences. For the price of a 120GB M.2 I can pick up another 240GB 730 series.

Cheers.

The 530 is a SATA based M.2 not a PCI-E based one.

Oh hurrrr!

Derp... (Feels retarded)

In that case, can you recommend me an PCI-E one?

There are only 2 the extra and the Samsung. If you have a M.2 x4 slot available get the Samsung.
