Picked up a 256GB & 512GB Samsung Pro 960 almost a month ago in anticipation of using them for a new rig. I'm waiting for the Dark Hero board to become available and a lot of people want it: making me think it'll be a while before I get one. I haven't opened up the SSDs yet, and have till Dec 13th to return them for a full refund. I was going to use the 256 as the boot drive and the 512 as a temp storage drive. Now I'm thinking of going NVMe for a boot drive, after reading the review on the Samsung 980 Pro. My dilemma is every time my boot drive has crashed and been unrecoverable I've had to swap in/out another SSD drive in order to get back up and running: then recover files from the crashed boot drive in slave mode. This has worked fine the past 10yrs as i've had backup/storage SSD drives that I could swap in and out. That's why I was going the SATA SSD route with the new build as it's super easy to do and easily accessible. Should I go the NVMe boot drive route and if so is the 980 Pro 500GB a good decision? It's on sale right now for $129 at my local MC. Or should I take back the SATA SSD drives I bought and just wait till the board I want comes in??
Nice to see the forums back up and running,
