I'm trying to figure out which NVMe ssd is best for boot-up time, loading games and general over-all experience to go along with the new z270 or AM4 motherboards. I have never had an ssd yet so, I'll have to wait and see what the benchmarks say to help chose Intel or AMD. I planned on a z270 but, since the AMD Rysen CPU demo I am willing to go AMD. Which system makes the best use of the new NVMe interface?
I was under the impression that the new z270 and AM4 CPU & motherboard platforms have improved NVMe performance and interface compatibility with NVMe 1.2 and later specs so, we will need to test the Samsung 960 with the new z270 and AM4 CPU & motherboard platforms to see if NVMe SSD's work better on one system or the other. So, testing on platforms older than the new z270 and AM4 may not reveal the NVMe performance benefits.
Any chance that HardForum could do some testing to show which system makes the best use of the new NVMe interface?
I was considering the Samsung 960 Evo 500G
