This review is from: SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 512GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P512BW
Pros:
FAST!! Great for gaming if you are not a fan of loading screens. -- I happened to get this thing on a whim, and I'm glad i did. it is so much faster than anything I've put in a consumer grade PC thus far. Make sure you have the correct connection and OS to get this to go. (see below)
Cons:
I hear it runs hot. I haven't had this issue with my case layout but I will report back if anything changes.
Overall Review:
if you aren't sure if your MOBO connection for this thing, do yourself a favor and pick up a PCI express card. I can confirm this one below gets the speed it advertises. (For me at least) Also, make sure you are trying to install in on anything windows 8 or above.
Card: (I'd link to the exact one, but I ended up buying the card somewhere else for shipping reasons)
