    hey all just got my blade today, I have 2 x Samsung 950 pro 512gb spare from my Alienware.
    My pro is the base 512gb one , would it be a benefit to install the pro drives or just sell them ? Will the drivers be an issue?

    Just sell them.

    No, drivers would not be an issue. But you're not going to see any real-world performance gains by going from whatever NVMe drive Razer puts in there, and trying to upgrade to a Samsung 950 Pro.

    Your Samsung 950 Pros have higher resale value. Sell them.
