Debating on getting this to upgrade me 860 EVO SSD even though it works fine I’ve had it for a bit and I’m building a new rig due to my current one having PSU issues.

What do you guys think, would like to pick it up locally today.

I mean, it’s definitely an upgrade. Depends on what games/programs you’re running but you honestly probably won’t notice a difference.

If he won't notice hows it really an upgrade.

I didn’t wanna say it but that’s what I thought hahaha

I ordered it though. New rig just going to get all the pretty stuff

Depends on the programs/games you’re running.

yeah from 1 second to 2 second difference



We all like new shit but his advice around here's been trash.
Even my wife looked at me weird when I quoted him.

so what did we buy?

m.2 is the way to go.. faster speed and no cables? whats not to like??

loading games or boot time wont be much faster, maybe 1-2 secs but file copy and some installs will be faster ofc

file copying is limited by slowest medium?

i7-9700k
Msi Z390 carbon ac
EVGA 2070
16GB Corsair RGB DDR4
1TB 970 EVO Plus M2
Corsair 850 Watt Gold Cert Modular
H510 Elite Black
NZXT aer RGB 140 fan for the top of case to match the front
Kraken X41 closes loop (didn’t want to deal with trying to install into the front of the case)

Got some pretty nice deals on most of the stuff

Looks decent, only personal gripe is a 120 AIO.
