i've been looking at using these new m.2's
i'd just like to verify it's usefulness to me.

so i plan to use the m.2 for my OS. will have separate external storage for most things.
i'm looking at the samsung 970 evo 500gb.
i believe the 500 should be efficient, but i'm not too positive if i'll have to bump it to the 1tb model?

i plan to use win10 to start off. i'd like to switch to linux builds in the future, but for now this question pertains to use of win10.

edit: i've purchased this item, i can't seem to pin any issue i'd have.
if you think otherwise, i'll be creating my final thread here for quite some time (hopefully). post it there please.

the connection is called m.2 but u actually bought a nvme drive =) and yea they are good

i dont notice any difference in speed in general use and startup with nvme, but one thing i noticed i get faster into games (map and textures load faster).. also file transfer to and from other drives seems faster... tryed to render a couple of videos but seems the same - probably bottlenecked by cpu

Short load times (random read) won't go up much from a regular SSD, but continuous read times will be significantly faster (anything that would take more than just a couple seconds)
