    Samsung 950 Pro M.2


    That was the OP that listed specs as they put in a M.2. Already spoke directly to Gigabyte, Samsung 950 Pro will work, just be capped at 10G/s. All in all i will stay with my Samsung 850 Pro SSD for now with this board.

    It is not "capped" at 10 G/s. The 32 GB/s, this is the limit of the pcie interface on some mobo's, not the actual drive itself. The advertised speed of the 512 GB version is 2500 mb/s read and 1500 mb/s write. Here is the Samsung spec sheet...

    You will not come close to saturating that with a 10 GB/s interface, let alone a 32 GB/s one.

    Here is a pic of a 60 Gb file transfer between two 950 pros (512 gb versions) on my Asrock Extreme 7+, both drives are in M2 sockets and using the Samsung NVMe drivers...

    Here is Samsung magician with link speeds

    I am not obviously saying you should run out and buy the drive. But don't get caught up in 10 Gb/s versus 32 Gb/s link speeds, either would suffice to get maximum performance from the 950.

    Other than benchmark numbers, do you folks notice any quantifiable difference running these as your OS drive.

    My newest desktop is from 2009. I do everything mostly on laptops now. So, I was just curious about these new M2 drives that I haven't yet had a chance to use as I don't have any mobos that support them.

    Samsung 950 Pro M.2

    To date I have been just playing around with them in various raid arrays. Got my new system up and running for the past week.

    In a couple of days I will be using one for OS and one for storage. I can better answer question after some time with one 950 as OS.

    I have read some say they see a difference and others say they do not. Time will tell.

    Thanks for your thoughts, all i know is my board will not exceed 10 Gb/s regardless of those boards that are capable of more Gb/s like the Z170, even if there not to the max of 32 Gb/s that it can with Samsung 950 Pro, they are more capable then mine. I am fine way i am for now, was only a thought as i have fairly new Samsung Pro 850 SSD.
