I previously had a hard drive. What type of storage are you comming from? It will speed up loading times, that basically it. WIndows loading (Startup), Game launching, Program launching. Anything thats on it will move faster. Computers r fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 12, 2017 Faster boot ups, shorter waiting times overall, more reliable, and way more responsive.

However, Windows login boot time as well as game launches, and data transfer will dramatically increase. The 960 has a 2.7-3.0gbps speed if i'm not mistaken? Moving large amounts of data will be much faster, as well as the things mentioned by others and myself above. Better dead than Red.

Posted January 12, 2017 you paid for it and now you want to feel good about your purchase? sorry, it's most likely you wasted your money - you could've got a bigger 850EVO (2.5" or m.2) for the same $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 960 Evo has up to 1500 MB/s write and up to 2900 MB/s read, I believe. Do remember the "up to". I get an average of 1 GB/s writes and 2 GB/s reads. Thank you for your reply.

You are buying something that is pretty expensive and you don't know the point of it. I hope your motherboard at least support it... If not, it's a waste of money.

When booting, opening programs, and transferring files. Why would you buy one if you didn't know this to start with though? Should research before you buy, not afterwards.
