Hey is a Samsung 960 EVO is a good one?

[Alexis31]

I am just ordering parts for the upcomming 9900k cpu and i wanted to ask if Samsung 960 EVO Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe is a good and have no big difference between it and the pro edition?

thank you

For home use the difference should be minimal, certainly not worth the extra cost for the Pro IMO.

 

I have stuck with Samsung for my last few SSDs and not been disappointed so far.

I'm currently running the 970 Evo (in which is not much different than the 960 Evo), booting OS and programs on it and the difference is quite a lot. Saves u seconds when launching applications.

Thank both of you

I really don't think there's much noticeable difference between ssd's. I really don't think I can tell between my 250GB sata 850 evo & my 500GB nvme 970 pro

I like nvme because no cables.

Also for a few more days consider you might be eligible for cashback. https://www.samsung.com/au/offer/ssd/

There is a very notable difference between a SATA SSD and an NVME once your OS starts dumping things to the pagefile.  As some places seem to sell the SATA and NVME versions for practically the same price, it seems silly to give up that potential speed boost.

So if you have an absolute ton of RAM then you might not see it, but with 16GB I certainly have.  It allows me to fire up a virtual machine assigned 8GB RAM with only a momentary pause while it frees up the RAM required.  Obviously your mileage way vary depending on how much RAM you typically use.
