Bought a Samsung Evo 850 500GB, very happy with it, kind of tempted to buy another one to be honest heh.
Personally, having an SSD for gaming is over kill, and you'll not really notice any difference.
Moving on, Installing a SSHD would be a much better option for games, I'm a heavy steam gamer and have all my Game on a 4TB SSHD with 8GB SSD Cache I think it has.
I'm actually upgrading my VR Gaming rig and after doing some research, I'm still installing another SSHD for media also, though an M.2 SSD for the OS.
It isn't an overkill at all. All my games load near enough instantly. Since when is making your PC faster an overkill?!Personally, having an SSD for gaming is over kill, and you'll not really notice any difference.

This isn't underclockers my friendPersonally, having an SSD for gaming is over kill
My first SSD was 128GB, the next 250GB, and it's still too small. I want to ditch my mechanical drive and go for a 1TB SSD. I sure as heck wouldn't be buying a TLC drive like the Crucial BX after all the terrible reviews.
It is overkill but it is just nice for my various platforms like Steam, Battlenet, Origin Uplay all to loadup nice and fast and then for certain games to load up pretty quickly as well.

This isn't underclockers my friend
SSDs are of course more suited to applications that use a lot of small files, rather than just opening large files, but I'd expect games to load significantly faster. A hybrid could work as well though.
BX got really bad reviews why?

I have a couple of machines with them as the main drive, they seem reasonably, not intensive worked, but fine for fast desktops?
Does the Samsung Migration software allow you to clone an OS on a small SSD onto a new bigger SSD without losing the extra space?I've installed a few of these for friends their fast and you can use the magician software to clone your existing drive saving you the need to reinstall the o.s.
Then you could format your original SSD and stick it in as a second drive.
You have two OS on the same drive - could I have Win7 & Win10 on different drives without a problem?I run a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro in my main PC as the main drive, split into 2 partition (Win7 + 10).
