Samsung 950 pro

[danielhowk]

Hi im wanting to buy samsung 950pro 512GB version, im using Samsung 850 evo 500GB version at the moment. will it be an upgrade for me?i  Im giving my samsung 850evo away. so i will be only operating on the samsung 950 pro.I usually just broswe the internet, opening alot of tabs. and playing games. in realworld is it going to have a noticeable difference. like from a HDD to SSD?

and will i have any problems installing windows 7 or 10 (havent decided which windows i should go for) on the samsung 950 Pro. previously read that it have issue samsung 950 pro being the main storage without an SSD. thanks

it'll be faster than 850 evo but you will hardly notice it if gaming and browsing is all you're doing

I used to think the same thing until recently.  My main x99 rig with my 950 Pro is currently undergoing an upgrade and I'm using my z97 setup.  My z97 setup has a 850 Evo M.2 in it and I can tell that a great deal of tasks are taking longer.  It's not that it's slow, but once you get used to the snappiness of the 950 Pro you realize how much it actually does for you.

It will help, but it's not as huge of a difference as going HDD to SSD was.

Forgot to mention my pc specs just incase it bottlenecks. im using i7 6700k and z197 asus hero, 8gb ram

No bottleneck there.

no problems there

 

though like the previous post mentioned, you will notice your computer being (slightly) more snappier

but dont expect a jump like going from HDD to SSD
