new to M.2

[XxDeadpool67xX]

So when I was browsing along amazon I found these 3 SSD

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MTS400-Solid-State-TS256GMTS400/dp/B00KLTPUG4/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1429746905&sr=1-3&keywords=m.2+ssd

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-EVO-3-5-Inch-MZ-N5E250BW/dp/B00TGIVZTW/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1429746905&sr=1-2&keywords=m.2+ssd

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MTS800-Solid-State-TS256GMTS800/dp/B00KLTPUYG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1429746905&sr=1-4&keywords=m.2+ssd

So I was wondering which one to get and is it worth it compared to an 850 Evo. How much faster. I am using using an Asus maximus vii hero.

Unless you need M.2 for the space savings, I wouldn't bother if you aren't going to get something like the Samsung SM951 which is significantly faster than Sata based drives.

 

You'll also want to check if the drives are PCIe based or Sata based. That motherboard only works with PCIe based M.2 drives.

They don't use PCI express - they're SATA based M.2's.

So pretty much its an all or nothing thing. I've looked at the predetor by hyperX but its out of my budget.
