Question Intel 670p vs Samsung 970 EVO Plus for gaming?

[JasonJJJ]

Hi all,

The Intel 670p and the Samsung 970 EVO plus are about the same price.

Is one better than the other?

Thanks!

For gaming there's no difference. For a lot of other tasks the Samsung is a lot better because of the TLC chips and DRAM cache.

I'd lean toward the Samsung if using it as a boot drive.

I have an Intel 660, the earlier generation of the 670. I use it as a data drive only and have no issues at all.

The 970.
But really, you'll see ZERO user facing difference.

Thanks, I'll definitely go for the 970 then.
