  What's the "Special feature for Gaming"? Is it because it's black?

    The "special" feature for gaming is a trick some makers (i.e. WD, Samsung) started to use. What they do is provide a mode to reduce putting the SSD in low power mode when it is idle for a while.

    Think of it as not putting HDD into sleep (always on) but for SSD. Obviously, SSD doesn't have moving / spinning parts so it generally wakes up much faster from idle.

    It's less "green".

      agree they should move on from colour coded blue red green black . its racist and another thing to remember. (red = nas = endurance ?)
      just like shoe sizing scheme.. EU US what the ff ?? why not ALL using jp standard. CM. or MM. thats it.

        Samsung doesn't name their SSDs using any colour. The colour comment was started by an OZBer.

  I'm after at least a 1TB, but this seem like a good deal? Is a heatsink needed?

  i have two of these in 1TB size and find them no issue for an OS drive and performance has been good
  I believe that performance will degrade when they get really full, so Id probably not opt for a 500GB size personally

  Are these good for a OS boot drive? I'm getting parts for a new pc and not too sure.
