NVMe SSD

According to the specs:

 

Intel

 

WD

 

The Intel is faster, but i'd do some video searching on them both on youtube before dropping the cash

 

If you want my experience i've got the 600p SATA equivalent intel (128Gb) and it's been rock solid for a year so far as my boot

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

Exactly! in some tests, they boot a second or so behind a SATA 3 SSD.

Why doesn't he get the Samsung 970 Pro if price doesn't matter? 

 

And I don't think he meant he wanted faster boot times when he said he wanted a boot drive. I think he meant he wanted a primary OS drive that he boots from and not a secondary drive.

well the 970 pro is one of his options, he just wants to know if the 760p is any good because he has a good deal for it (60$).

It isn't nearly as fast with sequential read and writes (almost 3x slower), but that only matters when moving large files. So if he wants to get the best deal then I don't think he will be terribly unhappy with the Intel or WD.

OK, hes just going to put his OS and some other things that wont change much on it so it should be fine.

I have an nvme drive (960 evo) in my new pc build, it's actually slower than my old pc on boot which has a kingston sata ssd, but mostly because the ASROCK bios takes forever to show up (like 10-20 seconds).

 

I really don't notice any difference in daily use and it still takes some time to open stuff because most of my files are on hdds.
