Does the Samsung 960 EVO NVMe work better than a Samsung 850 EVO ssd as a boot drive? If so by how much?
 
Solution
Yes it's faster, but not by enough to really notice. What you need for a fast boot drive is low que depth operations per second, the two Samsung drives, in fact, most SSDs are pretty similar in that respect. Where the 960 really shines is moving around large files.
