Hi

I dont really understand, but im currently looking at these 3 :

I am more inclined to get the PCIe one over the SATA3 (due to cabling)

other than that, is there going to be much difference for the average user ?

I dont do any 4K transfers or do any video editing etc etc


I use Windows 10 64 PRO
I take high quality photos with my Camera, but im not into editing them with software to the highest degree.
I play modern games at 1080p
and i use software here and there but nothing that would require major speed


Whats the best option for me?

Id go with the 970evo polaris

But on a side note you've not mentioned your system specs. What CPU and motherboard do you have, how many gpus.

Will this be your boot drive also


good point,

specs :

i5 6600K "Skylake"
16Gb RAM
GTX 970 (Vega 64 next upgrade probably)
Prolimatech Megahalems Black + Noctua NF-P12
MSI Z170A Gaming Pro motherrboard
Asus Xonar Essence STX
Focus+ Gold 650W
SSD
Various Hard Drives

Do a few transfers from drive to drive (like videos)

this new SSD will be used as the boot drive


Will i notice a difference from the SATA 3 Vs PCI-e SSD ?
