btw...about the U.2/M.2 SSD.
Anyone using them (i.e. Samsung 950 Pro) and got any opinion of them on real world use?
On paper and benchmark they are significantly faster, (500MB/s vs 2000MB/s+)
Just wondering does it actually feel much faster and snappier in real world usage? (Like when you are upgrading from a HDD to SSD)
There are only 2 Z170i mobo I can find - Asus and MSI. Asus Z170i uses U.2, where MSI use M.2. (tho only 65mm fit properly)
Some people say U.2 is more the future for desktop SSD, but U.2 ssd is almost non existent beside intel's super expensive 750 at the moment.
I guess I will stay with cheaper SATA SSD for now, but I want the mobo to be future proof when the new SSD become more common.
