Getting very close to pulling the trigger on my components for my new computer build, just trying to get a few questions answered prior to making my purchase. To get started, I know that PCI SSDs are faster that SATA SSDs. The question is HOW much faster?
Here is the MOBO i'm going to be putting in my new computer: GIGABYTE GA-Z170X Gaming 6
I am going to be running a single GPU for the foreseeable future, so I am not too concerned about lack of PCI slots. What I was thinking of doing was using this M.2 Samsung Pro 950 256GB to put Windows 10, Photoshop, After Effects, Sony Vegas 13, etc. on for the fastest loading possible, then have a secondary SSD (Samsung EVO 850 250/500GB) to load things like games and other programs on. Would this be beneficial? I have no experience with M.2 SSDs.
I did some reading online, but as with anything else, there are lists of pros and cons out there. I would just like some guidance on this issue.
As far as storage other than the SSDs, I will have 2x 2TB HDDs.
Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
