best choice for an M.2 SDD in my Asrock Z97 extreme6 board

[lemarec]

Hello

Now I have an 250Go Samsung XP941 SSD in my Asrock Z97 extreme6 board, it works well, my Os is on it, but he is full !

I want to buy a 500 Go M.2 SSD, what is the best choice for me now, I want to boot on it and copy my os on it

Is the samsung 960evo ok for me ?

Thanks for any help

I would go with a Samsung 960 or 970 EVO 500GB drive or a WD Black 500GB NVMe drive. All good and very fast options.

The corsair MP510 and ADATA SX8200 are also quite good.

My os is windows 7. When I clone it on the new nvme drive, will it boot ?

Make sure to install the Microsoft NVMe driver for Windows 7 64-bit BEFORE cloning the drive over from SATA to NVMe. That way, when it attempts to boot off of the NVMe drive, it should be able to.

Thanks for your help, I bought a Samsung 970 evo and I wait it with a PCIe card for the cloning

For the driver, I try to install the samsung driver without the material, impossible
Impossible to find the windows driver !
