SATA or PCI 3.0 for M.2 SSD?

Deuce said:
The real question is will you actually appreciate the speed difference between a SATA drive and a PCI drive.




tl,dw: Storage speed just isn't the bottleneck for loading video games or the OS once you've moved on from the HDD into the SSD arena.

NVMe is primarily useful for very high throughput, latency-sensitive operations. Big, professional, database type environments. Even moving around large files for a home user is unlikely to benefit - you probably wont have two NVMe slots to slide files between, so you're going to end up going over SATA anyway.

This is what made up what I laughingly refer to as my mind.

There didn't seem to be any difference in games.
 
After sitting on the fence for over a year, the deed is done, the parts are here. Windows should arrive next week, always something with Windows, eh?

I look at a VR website occasionally. We are going to be seeing 2560x2440 panels. My 1070 can handle one of those. But you would find 2 in a helmet. I think by the time I am ready to jump off that fence, that will be common.

Can't win em all.
