SSD and PCIE card?

Hey Guys,🙂 Since the 850 pro and evo are faster then sata 3, would it be worth it to buy a pcie ssd adapter? to gain more speed from the ssd 😕
 
You misunderstand. Both those drives are SATA 6Gbps (SATA 3) drives so they are designed to be used on SATA connections.

The PCI Express adapter you are talking about will simply be a PCI Express to SATA adapter so the drives will still be running at SATA 6Gbps speeds. Infact, they will probably be slower than they would connected to native Intel 6Gbps ports.

To unlock the power of PCI Express you need native PCI Express SSD's like the Samsung XP941 or SM951 but these drives are still in their infancy and bootable support is not widespread.
 
Unless your rich. IF so you can grab the ASUS SSD PCIe card which blows away any other SSD card or 2.5 with no RAID. Almost llll . I forgot the name so someone can google it ... I think its 500GB not sure tho. This is SSD for the gurus and gamers of the world.

Your explanation is very good, but I've seen SATA/PCIE SSDs bench much better than their SATA counterparts.

For instance there is addonics adapter card with m.2 (SATA) ssd will do better than the same SATA ssd connected to SATA 6 port.
