I wish stupid samsung would hurry up and get the 980 pro out before the dell amex deal goes away. they sometimes surprise with a sooner than expected release, but people keep thinking it will be august, which would be too late for the deal...
does this have boot firmware? I know my HP z420 workstation doesn't support booting from m2 drives (put in a pci adapter) unless their have bootable firmware embedded. I think only the old Samsung evos had that.

You can use this as a boot drive without any issue, been doing it with my Windows desktop PC since day 1.
Gaming load time is measurable and this drive loses to a lot PCIe. 3.0 drive which cost more or less $130. It will be even less noticeable on real world task like web browsing and office work. Nobody runs benchmark 24/7

It'll be limited the the gen 3 speeds.
The Samsung EVO 970 is a PCIe 3.0 drive and this is a PCIe 4.0 drive that is significantly faster in nearly every measurable metric:

You're going to need an amd mobo to use 4.0 right now. Either B550 or X570.

Put it in one of the newer amd boards and you'll get the full potential.
Right now you need a AMD x570 or B550 for pcie gen 4 support at full speed.
I guess if you put this gen 4 drive in a gen 3 mobo then maybe your statement is true?
