Boot drive - M4 or 830?

[crinkleshoes]

Currently booting off an M4 128GB

Just ordered the 830 256GB in it's special offer form

Wondering if I'll get any noticeable improvement having one as the boot drive over the other, I've been so used to managing space over the past few years, I'm not fussed about having "only" a 128GB boot drive.

Will it be noticeable swapping, or should I just stick the 830 in as a data drive?

Reviews seem quite similar, but they're usually comparing the 256GB M4 - so there may be a difference between the 128 and 256?

No noticable difference.

Certainly won't be worth the effort reinstalling the OS

wow im jealous

hm guess it depends how fast your m4 boots
a clean install always helps a bit too huh

ive seen some ppl say their m4 boots up in 10 seconds and some say they take forever

I'd be ghosting a half-full drive... so ~20 minutes to do the swap, nothing major

Yeah, clean install usually gives a nice little boost... but I only did one 3-4 weeks ago with my other upgrades - so no real need as it's not cluttered yet.

"I'm not fussed about having "only" a 128GB boot drive."

The extra space, IMO, is the only reason I'd use it as a boot drive over the M4.

I've been holding off since the deal started... really don't need it with a 128GB boot drive & raid-0 array for extra storage... but gave in to *want*
