    I upgraded to a 512Gb Samsung 850 PRO for performance reasons, thinking I'd get a significant boost.

    I did get a performance boost of about 20%, but I'll confess to being a little disappointed. If you're already running a Seagate Momentus hybrid drive, it turns out that this is about the right increase in performance, based on Seagate's benchmark against a comparable SSD manufacturer.

    If I'd known the performance bump was that small, I might have chosen to save the money.

    As always, YMMV.

    Grace & Peace,

    I went from a mechanical drive, to having a small cache drive, to having a large ish ssd (256gb - definitely not huge, but it was big at the time).

    For me the difference was night and day. So much so that I went out and bought another one and put it in my Laptop.
