Hey guys quick question : 

 

Whats the difference beetween the SSD ( the classic ones u know ) and m.2 ssd ?

 

 

The m.2 ssd is like Ram memory lol and as i know u can plug it direcly to motherboard like ram ..... and the read and write speeds are way more than classic ssd i just watched  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbQG0-Gosww and at 6:00 u can see what i am talking about explain me please :)

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: SORRY ABOUT TITLE, MISSTAKES HAPPEN :)

M.2 operates on PCIe OR SATA, where conventional ones only can run on SATA.

The projects never end in my line of work.

M.2 allows for bandwidth up to 10 Gb/s.

SATA 3 allows for bandwidth of up to 6 Gb/s.

 

There are M.2 drives like this one that can reach those higher speeds.

Just because the connection is capable doesn't mean all SSD makers make every drive saturate it. I personally try to use M.2 where possible just because there is no cable management.

Your title is why I am here, figured I'd just clear a little thing up.

 

SSD = Solid State Drive

HDD = Hard Disk Drive

 

There is no such SDD.

 

 

There is no such SSD? All he had in his title was SSD with a smiley face?

 

Edit: Never mind.

As for your question. Speed is really the only thing.

my bad ya i cliked 2x time "d" insted of "s" ty for telling me :D

So guys its better to go "M.2" insted of classic ? 

 

I am going to use "M.2" on my feature build then but can u stack together 2x "M.2"  and raid 0 them ? 

 

 

Sry if the question was dumb :)

It will only be software RAID, but yes you could do it if you had more than one M.2 slot.

re-read it, its "SDD :D" as of writting this at least :P

 

no problem, just wanted to make sure you had the facts straight :)

 

Edit: Completely didn't notice that spelling of all things. Whoops.

If you should buy one or not depends on the drive in question. Not so much the interface. If the specs are better or the same for the M.2 drive vs unnamed SATA III drive then I would go M.2. As far as RAID it is possible but requires multiple M.2 ports (to RAID two M.2 drives) which is rare on motherboards. If you use one the most particular solution is boot drive + HDD or HDD + SSD cache.

PSU: HX1000i 
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition or X99 Deluxe

GPU: 2x R9 300 series 
Ram: 16GB ( Didnt choose what yet ) 
SSD: 
HDD: 
Case fans: Dunno! 
Proccesor Cooler: Kraken X61
 
I was going 2x classic SSD at the start with Raid 0 but after i see M.2 i can go something crazy like 2000mb per second PCI express based 
 
 
EDIT: MY FEATURE LONG TIME BUILD :D ( or i can go cheper for small time i talk about 4/5y )

Notes:

-You list a i7-4930K but two LGA-2011-3 motherboards, the CPU is not compatabile with the MOBO, did you mean to specify the i7-5820K?

 

-Raiding SSDs (as in RAID 0, RAID 1, etc) together via software RAID craps out past 1GB/second. After that the on-mobo raid controller can't keep up with IO requests, at least on current boards (if someone has a benchmark proving a board can break this limit, enlighten me.)

 

-NVMe (a replacement for AHCI, the underlying communication protocol SSDs use) is coming within 3-6 months (Intel's is coming out April 1st, actually). It reduces the overhead per instruction by roughly 4x. Your SSD won't necessarily become faster, but it will use 1/4 the CPU time to get its work done. Wait for these to hit the market.

 

-When NVMe drives launch you will also get a large selection of PCIe controller based M.2 drives (most m.2 drives currently are SATA based) which will give you another 4Gb/s or so of usable bandwidth on your M.2 interface.

 

-I am unaware of any motherboard with two M.2 slots. Raiding together two of them might be difficult, although RAIDing SSDs is not recommended anyway as they drives are bottle-necked by the on-mobo raid controller (if you shell out the $500-700 for a real RAID card + battery backup unit {raid cards that don't support BBUs are no better than your mobo} will probably not throttle your SSDs, just be sure that if you get two 4 lane PCIe SSDs, then your RAID card will need to be at least an 8X PCIe RAID card in order to not risk throttling your SSDs.

 

-You have a 1000W PSU for a system that looks to be consuming around 650W. Your PSU is too large, You should look more in the 800-900W range. 850W would be perfect. Note: PICK PSU AFTER R9 POWER DETAILS ARE KNOWN!

--Minor note: Because the R9 300-series haven't been released yet, we don't know how much power they use. However this benchmark: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/anton-shilov/alleged-benchmark-results-of-amd-radeon-r9-300-series-fiji-xt-published/seems to indicate they will use the same power as a R9 280. That is what I based my PSU wattage number on.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7Wkhxr<--that's an example system for what you wanted. I didn't bother picking an m.2 SSD because there are no 'good' ones on the market yet. I picked the next best thing instead.
