I have the samsung evo but I dont know if its worth upgrading. I can get the Corsair for about 100$ and from what say in the description, it should be 2-3 times faster than the Samsung. What do you guys say?

For that use, I doubt you'd see any real "speed" difference.
Yes, the NVMe is "faster". But only for certain uses. Moving large blocks of sequential data, for instance.
Games and general web usage? Not so much. And def not worth $100 to change.

What do you use this system for?
What motherboard and OS is this?

And upgrading a 128GB drive to another 128GB drive, even if it is NVMe....no. I wouldn't.

Using it for gaming and browsing, I have a B350 Tomahawk. Im good with the space, was just curious about the speed.
