Hi guys,

I plan to get a new system and aware that PCIe SSD such as M.2 is easily 4x as faster in reading speed. But the price is 3x as much.

I wonder if it is worth to buy PCIe SSD (2500+MB/s reading) just for the Drive C (OS, application loading time etc)? Will I actually notice any differences if I just buy normal SATA based SSD (around 500+MB/s reading).

I do aware reading speed is about 4x more... But I wonder in real-life got much differences. Processor wise planning on i7.

Do hope the experienced guru here can share their view.  notworthy.gif

If you're trying to break nerd record, it probably matters as opposed to having a standard SSD.

But if you're just booting up your PC to type a Word document, or play Steam games, a few miliseconds faster makes zero real-world difference.

It would make a greater difference if you saved that PCIe SSD money and spend it to take your GF to Tioman or something.
