    Question Buying an SSD

    So I should go for the faster one since power consumption and money is not an issue, i like that the faster one has better random r/w speed, it should come in handy as I'm doing big database queries. Thank you all, I'll be ordering the Samsung one today.

    Can this processor work at 15W TDP with turning off half the cores and decreasing the frequency. If yes, will it be slower than i7-7500U if running at 15W TDP and by how much %. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a t470(256GB SSD, i7-7500U, intel 620 GPU) or t470p(500SSD, i7-7700HQ, nvidia...
