Just coming back to explain this point (as there currently are some killer deals atm... thank you Black Friday)
It would appear tempting to upgrade (in my case from an EVO 850) to an EVO 970 but do remember that the 9360 is power-limited to 2-channels only, not 4. So the performance increase will be capped. As previously discussed there are ways to increase this limit, but it is doubtful as to the long-term practicalities of this given the additional heat and power consumption.
So whether I should choose between WD, Samsung or just go back to SATA for lower power consumption?
