msata to sata bro

advisable to buy or just get the normal ones.

well, the price of msata ssds might be slightly higher than sata ssds, and you need to get an additional adapter. the cost should higher than getting a sata ssd.

performance wise they should be the same. however it's better to check out their specs first.

sata > msata > m.2 > pci-e

more like sata = msata =< m.2 =< pcie lol

lol, no idea but confirmed pci-e is the fastest

yeah it is. it has the largest capacity also. (but damn expensive lol!) for personal computing, sata ssd is actually a sensible option to have for now.

the best minimal combo for a main rig is still 1x ssd for os and 1x hdd for storage. move all other hard disks to a separate system. this way your main rig will run much faster because it has less hardware connecting to it.

Bro, your specs are killing me.... how are u so rich.... I use all my money in my bank account also can't achieve what u are having.

is nvme ssd worth it now?

er don't bother about it. they're results of ill-planned overspending :/ it was meant mainly to remind me of spending wisely next time.

it depends. if you used it for work that can use most of its speed, it's better than making raid0 with sata ssds.

for home use, it's seriously an excess, at least imo.

ya is very expensive, normal consumer like us better spend on sata, msata or m.2
and yes, best combo is get 1 ssd to install os and frequently used software, other things on hdd

noted thanx bro

Anyone here given the Samsung 950 Pro a whirl yet?

I'm giving it serious consideration because the Intel 750 series will obviously have to sit in a PCI-E slot, which takes up a considerable amount of space. It would be good know if any users here have any experience with them.

if the m.2 slot is not blocked by anything, you can secure a copper heat sink on top of its controller chip. the caveat is that you might void its warranty if you removed the sticker.

no, i just have samsung's xp941 and sm951. i use a pcie adapter with heat sink to cope with its overheating. note that a lot of reviews said that it's acceptable to use them in bare form in general use. the point does make sense, but i am building my work stuff with it and move them to other storage frequently. i just don't wanna risk it.

samsung 950 pro has a built-in throttling to prevent overheating. (basically it means dropping the speed to sata3 when it happens) if this is not your concern then it should be good to go.

recommendation for m.2 ssd? brand and price for 120gb and 240gb laptop,tq

no idea lol as I am using m.2 on laptop, not desktop

for common usage, i think the heat issue might be acceptable. some laptops do provide additional heat spreading feature for m.2 ssds through smart designs.

nice yes about the fans, there are people who use side fans that blow air directly to mobo and gpu for better results.

normal usage like browsing, watch movie degree around 40°C

my laptop got 3 heat sink pipe (unsure what it call)

ok hehe it's called heat pipe. however i think the cooling system is mainly used to cool cpu and gpu only. i'm not sure if there is any direct contact to your ssd. afaik certain high-end asus g-series has a special metal place holder for m.2 ssd which also serves as heat spreader for the ssd.
