Is It Worth Getting This As A Boot Drive?

Hey. My Samsung 840 Pro is getting old and too small (256GB) and I'm wanting to replace it with something better.

I have found this:

Which is said to be one of the fastest SSDs out there. I have an Asus Rampage V motherboard (bought end of 2014) which has the relevant M.2 slot.

From your experience using this do you see a big improvement having it as a boot drive? Like usual I install most of my applications on the boot drive (Adobe apps etc) not games. Will I see a noticable difference in boot times/application use?

Oh and with regards to price, I am going to get it from New Egg which totals around £500 for the 1TB version (and have a family member ship it over). If there is a fault does Samsung deal direct under their warranty so I can ship to a UK address even though purchased in the US?

Thanks for your help.
