    You should be good then

    As long as you tested and got the advertised specs, you`re good.

    If we don`t have boards with PCI-Express ver 4.0 we won`t see the full benefit of the 980 Pro anyway, right now that doesn`t matter to me.

    I`ll build a new system in the future.

    Will this only benefit certain GPU`s ?
    Say maybe, only the 30 series cards ?
    Still reading the links.
    As Cliff mentioned it requires DirectX 12 ultimate. The 20xx support that. You also have to have a nvme SSD with the Windows nvme driver. AFAIK, those are the requirements. But it isn't there yet.

    Did you watch the video, that guy said that Samsung was switching parts on the 970 Evo Plus.

    Controller, not NAND. Probably due to chip shortage. It performs worse for large transfers once the on-board cache runs out from what I hear. But perhaps better in other aspects.

    I think I`ll get a Samsung 860 Pro 512GB SSD for W11, the M.2`s don`t really impress me that much.
    The benefit to me for M.2's is simply that they don't require a power cable or a data cable. You just clip them into the motherboard and you are ready to go.

    In some respects, I feel this same advantage can also be a disadvantage. I like to occasionally unplug my primary drive to plug in a test drive to screw around with something new. The M.2's make this more difficult to achieve. Especially with my particular mobo. To take out the M.2, I have to remove the video card, and take a shroud off my X570 chipset to gain access to the M.2 screws.
    Obviously, another big benefit is that read/write throughput is much better on an M.2 PCIE based NVME. But that's the part we are all probably the most focused on and already aware of.

    As far the Samsung EVO versus Pro. I find the EVO's to be just fine for many, many people. The Pro does offer slightly better specs, but aside from a very specific use case or benchmark, you probably won't notice any difference. The PRO also offers more endurance, but I don't think most people will be keeping their SSD's long enough to really benefit from the longer endurance. Chances are you will want a larger capacity drive, or a higher performant drive long before you run out of write cycles.

    Both of your systems should have setting to disconnect/disable M.2 from BIOS.

    I don't have the pro version just the 980 mine works fine and i would think the pro would work the same for me anyway

    I`m always telling people to avoid the Evo`s if possible.
    .

    Hi,
    I've got a couple 860 pro 256gb they work just fine
    Only benchmarks that like m.2 is passmark otherwise you'd never see any improvements

    M.2 might be best as a storage then it makes no difference pro/ evo or regular which ever is cheapest

    Post far cry 3 is free atm
