Do you mean 860 EVO or 970 EVO? Assuming you have working TRIM and sufficient free space on the EVO, the difference should be pretty minimal unless you regularly do sustained writes of more than 12/13GB (that's the SLC cache size for either drive at 250GB). You'd see more of a bump going to an Optane 905P, but even then it wouldn't be night/day.

I have six core I7 running at 4.2 GHz with 64GB of Crucial Ballistic DDR3 and a Nvidia 1070. I'm not a gamer but I do video and media editing. When working with media I use my RAM = a 32 GB RAM DRIVE to work from so no drive should be as fast as that. However, I see a deal on a 512 GB V-Nand SSD 970 PRO. and I know this is one of the fastest drives available. If I install it, and use it as my OS drive instead of the existing 870 EVO will I even notice a difference? Thanks w
