    First new PC build after decades of non-SSD drives. Was blown away by the speed of the M.2. Benchmarks are nice (and this one scores well), but they're sort of abstract. Consider instead that when I installed windows 10 from a USB stick, from the time I entered the license key to installation complete was around 90 seconds. That is crazy. Apps and Games just "pop-up" without any perceivable load time. Awesome. So yeah, guess I'm happy.
