samsung 960 pro ssd

hi everyone...

should i remove the sticker on the samsung 960 pro before i use it?

it seems to block the heat dissipation since it covers all the pcb

sorry this question may sounds a bit dumb but i havent used one yet

no you dont need to remove it 

 

the heat issue only exists when people read and write gigabytes of data constantly - very high usage

for general use like running your OS and games it will be fine

Agree. If you're going to be doing masses of file transfers, like LTT does for their videos back and forth from their server, then you'd have heat issues. That (and the speed) is most likely why they use NVME PCIe SSDs. That and the fact that Linus loves overkill.

So that M.2 can be installed inside PCIe Body?

Nope. They use the 1.2TB Intel ones that are $500+ and take up an actual PCIe slot, just like a GPU.

SSD on SATA=dude where are you gonna put that little thing?

SSD on M.2=dude you just wasted a pointless slot

SSD on PCIe=you should've paid for GTX 1070/1080. And you wasted an important slot!
