Just ordered a 500GB 850 Evo. After reading the OP, I should format to max capacity and leave 20% free rather than formatting to 80% right?

I think I'm going to get the ASRock Z97 board with the Ultra M.2 and pop a 500G 950 Pro in there. Assuming that the BIOS is updated for the board to boot off of the M.2 drive, and that Samsung's Magician is updated to support the 950, I should be able to use Magician to set the 950 as the boot drive by moving over the data from my existing 850 Evo?

Wilford Cutlery posted:Since the OP is 1.5 years old now, what is the consensus on Kingston SSDs? Specifically the SSDNow V300 - I know the Samsung 850 EVO is the best all-around, just want to know if there's anything particularly bad with this model? EDIT: Or the SanDisk X400? If you're looking to go lower in price than an 850 Evo, these Mushkins seem to be fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226688&cm_re=reactor-_-20-226-596-_-Product

What's it mean when Magician states that OP can be set or cleared only for the last available partition? I've a single C: on my drive and a tiny one labeled recovery. Magician won't let me change the OP settings, and I've probably set aside too much.

Fathis Munk posted:So I got my SSD, plugged it in, switched my SATA ports to AHCI, deleted some files so everything fits on the SSD and started cloning with the Samsung migration tool. It'll speed up but it still takes a long time. And yes, format the other one after

From Tom's review of the RD400, OCZ has been more or less reduced to marketing within Toshiba: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ocz-rd400-nvme-ssd,4578.html

I've got a SATA M.2 and an Ultra/NVMe M.2 slot, I hope to fill both of them with some good deals later this year...

Potato Salad posted:
How many options have there been for NVMe? Outside of that OEM Samsung one, and the 950 Pro, and those more-or-less enterprise level Intel drives, there really hasn't been much else out there. I think now, or at least soon, you can get into it with Kingston and Toshiba/OCZ but I don't think SanDisk/WD have anything yet that isn't still tied to SATA3. I'm sure some of this is gouging for early adopters, but there's also been a real lack of options. And, M.2 slots themselves aren't out there on every board, and fewer of those that are use PCIe lines for the speed of NVMe.

I like that Intel 600p since I have two M.2 slots waiting to be used (even if only one is PCIe), but the green PCB doesn't match my black board with blue heatsinks, blue RAM, and blue accented EVGA 970.

Then again, I've never experienced the magic of an EVO booting Windows instantly. Like some caveman from the early 00's, I still have to wait a few seconds for the login prompt.

Any worthwhile half height mSATA SSDs? The few on newegg appear to be nameless wildcards. I'm getting an older laptop soon and wouldn't mind filling that space with an OS-only drive if there's anything good out there.
