Questions in regards to SSD. I currently have a 2TB WD Black boot drive, and another secondary 1TB WD Black boot drive.

My case three 3.5" bays, plus a slot for an M.2 drive.

1) Does it make more sense to use a Corsair 2.5" to 3.5" adapter that fits two 2.5" SSD drives? Or use the M.2 slot?



2) Is M.2 faster/slower/equal compared to a regular SATA III slot?

3) If SATA III tops out at 600MB/s, what is the point of buying anything better than the 850 EVO drives? I see that the 960 Pro and Evo are much faster, but how can SATA III take advantage of that?
