    Anyone have a PCIE SSD and can report on windows load speed on startup?
    I imagine it would be lightning fast?

      i have one. windows loads 10 seconds before i press the power button.

      Are you comparing to a HDD or a SATA SSD?

      Vs HDD it's night vs day - unbelievably fast.

      Vs any other mainstream SATA SSD you won't notice the difference - probably fractions of a second. The limiting factor tends to be things such as IO init and actual processing of data.

      You won't notice any difference unless you do video or high res image editing or maybe do lots of unzipping of archives. I'd say a good 95%+ of consumers will be wasting their compared to any decent SATA SSD.

        Are you actually mansplainin' to people that SATA III and PCI-E SSD are the same and the difference won't be noticeable?

        • too_much_boost on 25/03/2017 - 20:28

          He's saying there is nearly no noticeable difference in normal day to day tasks. I have a samsung 850 m2 NVMe and apart from kickass crystaldiskmark scores, i dont think it would feel any quicker than a normal sata3 ssd

        • jzdhgkd on 25/03/2017 - 20:53

          Not sure what mansplainin' is but yep that's what i'm saying!

      • Hirolol on 26/03/2017 - 14:07

        i was just asking about the windows load speed at startup for this drive, but all that other stuff is good to know. i assumed that most people would get no benefit to it, just that you can say your computer loads in 1-2 seconds haha.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/03/2017 - 20:36

      Depends entirely on BIOS times I found. The BIOS time on my Asus board is extremely annoying, but straight after BIOS it loads to login in 1-2 seconds tops.

      • jzdhgkd on 25/03/2017 - 20:54

        Haha yeah i've got an asus too. I feel your pain :p

        • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2017 - 00:16

          Know of any work arounds? I'm getting ~10 second POST (before it even beeps) and 5-10 second bios times currently, followed by <3s to desktop.

        • jzdhgkd on 26/03/2017 - 10:50

          @dyl: Not sure, sorry. I pretty much never shut my comp down these days and only use the sleep function so I guess I lied when I said i feel your pain haha

      • Hirolol on 26/03/2017 - 14:08

        not sure what bios times are but thanks anyway!

        • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2017 - 15:49

          First there's post times (times before the beep on a desktop), then there's the BIOS screen.

          In task manager click 'start up', it should tell you the last BIOS time. This is the time an SSD won't do much for - it's before Windows even starts booting.

        • Hirolol on 26/03/2017 - 19:41

          @dyl:
          How do you make bios time quicker?

        • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2017 - 19:47

          @Hirolol:
          Adjust settings in BIOS can improve BIOS time, but POST time you can't really do much about.

          There's settings in the BIOS for things like fast boot, BIOS display time, etc. This can reduce it by a few seconds.

          Overall, not much you can do about it. I mentioned it so you can calculate the benefit of an SSD - take the BIOS time in task manager and add 2-3 seconds, that's your approx total boot time with an SSD.

        • jzdhgkd on 27/03/2017 - 11:52

          @dyl: Wow I never knew this existed! Thanks for the info. Mine sits at 21.8s :S Will let you know if I manage to cut it down significantly.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2017 - 11:55

          @jzdhgkd:

          Is it an Asus motherboard? I found they have oddly long post and bios times for some reason..

    Wow not OP's fault but item is described as 2.5" m.2 as far as I know these are not interchangeable formats, either 2.5" OR M.2 unless I have missed something

    • Diji1 on 25/03/2017 - 18:52

      It fits in a 2.5" bay and m.2 … space.

      • Natedogg on 25/03/2017 - 19:51

        If I want to use it in a 2.5" drive bay do the connectors match and does it have the screw hole to mount the m.2 form factor, or will this require a 2.5" case to put the m.2 inside first?

        • hippyhippy on 25/03/2017 - 21:35

          U cant use this in a 2.5 drive bay … u need a m.2 port and one that fits the full m.2 length. Drives that fit drive bay are for sata which im pretty sure these wont work with m.2 sata converters. Even if it did work with a converter.. why waste money on nvme?

        • Natedogg on 25/03/2017 - 21:47

          @hippyhippy: Yep, please nobody buy this thinking its going to replace a 2.5" drive. No idea why the item would have such a misguided title

          Give me some blu-tack, a few thumb nails, some wire and the moons gravitational pull.
