I just upgraded from a 6 year old Intel 5 Series SSD on SATA 2 to Samsung 970 EVO on PCI-E gen 3.
On paper the Samsung is obviously way faster. Real world useage however is a massive letdown. Games are not noticeably faster loading times wise.
Win 10 OS (I did a fresh install with a new key I bought) is virtually no different. No faster to load. Apps do not install much faster either. I know in benchmarks the Samsung is way faster but not seeing any noticeable difference real world whatsoever!
I have a Gen 3 PCI-E interface on my X399 + 1920X Threadripper system. Double & triple checked everything the benchmarks are within spec for this drive.
With or without the Samsung NVMe drivers vs MS AHCI makes no noticeable difference either.
Just a massive letdown overall I expected a noticeable difference not seeing any really so buyer beware!!!
