    Fellow member of the forum,

    I own a MSI GT60 2OC and I am looking to purchase a new HDD.
    I have been considering the Samsung 950 PRO.
    However I am afraid my PC (2 years old) will not support this new technology, either Motherboard or BIOS incompability.
    Can anyone tell me if will it work?

    It's not compatible, the one you can use is 850 Evo.

    So I have to go with regular SSDs....

    I might purchase the Crucial-MX300 then.....
    This is one might be fine, right?

    If you are looking for a Samsung Pro version this might be yo ur alternative:
    Samsung 850 PRO - 512GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW)

    Samsung 850 Pro works really well on the machine and it is highly recommended by many, but may be a little bit pricey but it's well worth it.

    I have a 512 GB 850 EVO and it works very well in my old GT60. I'd imagine a Pro would do better.
