Using SM951 NVMe

[thanasiskant]

Hi i would like to ask, will it be stupid using the M.2 Samsung SM951 128GB NVMe as my main and only ssd both for os and for gaming? Will it be a problem? I know it heat up a lot but i have a box with very good cooling ( Antec 900 3x120 front intake, 1x200mm outake and 1x120mm outake)

A 128GB drive, no matter what technology, is too small for the OS and 'gaming'.
Unless you have only very small games.

they are moba games like lol dota and hots. nothing big that 128 cant handle. so should i do it or not? will i kill my m.2 like this?

As an only drive, a 128GB drive is too small.
OS + AV+games+all that other little stuff = how much time do you want to spend managing drive space, rather than using your PC.

NVMe? Is this a whole new PC, or are you looking to add this particular drive into an existing PC?
What's wrong with a regular SATA drive, of larger size?

new pc. since i got the money i prefer to give it for this snappy m.2. either way its not that i need so much space. really its not that the problem. with just lol and dota 2 i am good. i just want to be fast.
P.S i have one more pc with 4 tb space thats why i dont care so much for this particular build

Well...if you think a 128GB will work for you, go for it.
I wouldn't.

Don't let it fill over 100GB or so.
