Hi Guys,

 

I am currently using i5-8300H with 16GB DDR4 RAM and booting system from 2TB Samsung 860 EVO. I have a m.2 port in my laptop and was thinking of taking it to use.

So Optane 32GB costs about USD 72 and Samsung 250GB 970 EVO costs about USD 150. Which will give me a better performance?

With 970 EVO i can shift my boot to this drive.

 

Please suggest.

Optain was meant to be used with HDDs to give them SSD-like performance. You won't be getting anything from the optane.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.
