Windows 10: SSD Drives

Thanks. I have a whole collection of 2 Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB drives - LOL. Am bearing your advice in mind now that I've bought all the RAM our 3 machines can hold from Crucial (yeah, brand may not matter much there. either).*Smile

 

Thanks whs - good to know. Just checked them out on Newegg - good ratings - good speed - good price.

 

I got mine from Newegg also.

 

Never an issue with defects/returns or anything else - Customer service is the best.

 

No issues with the 950 and drivers for W10. Just be sure your mobo supports M2 socket at x4 pcie lanes so as to get maximum performance from the drive. There are adapters you can get to plug directly into pci if no M2 socket on board.

 

So I could do this with older board,just get a PCI adapter to M2 Socket .Have a older system with Q9650,maybe get another year out of it before upgrade.

 

Check mobo/cpu specs - my GUESS is the 950 will NOT work on an older board.

 

Maybe. Is the system bootable from a PCI-E drive?

I have an m2 Plextor M6e in a PCI-E adapter in my older system. Works well. It's an X79 system, though.
