As a last minute splurge, I decided to ditch the SATA SSD and go for one of the new M.2 PCIe SSD drives

My system is now at ludicrous speed. I have my account set to auto-login and I don't even see the login page now, it jumps straight from the Windows loading circle straight to usable desktop. Loading times in games are also pretty much a thing of the past. If you can afford the extra cash, I highly recommend switching from a SATA drive if you're on/buying a Z170 chipset
