SSD, I choose you!

help me decide on an OS + Gaming SSD please.

I think 120GB is enough for me since I will be buying a separate HDD for storage. Somewhere between 2-4TB WD Blue.
But, since my friend told me that Dragon Age: Inquisition is somewhere upwards of 40GB, I'm reconsidering.

OFC the obvious choice would be the 850 EVO but I'm not sure if the price difference will be worth it. I have sub-4000PhP budget.

 

Thanks in advance.

SanDisk SSDPlus

Or Crucial BX200

Both 240GB Models. The 250GB Evo is bit more compared to these two.

OS + Gaming SSD. 120GB is IMO enough for me, but if you can convince me otherwise, it's k.

 

I will buy a separate HDD (later on) for big storage.. probably a 2-4TB WD Blue.

I would do what you can to afford the larger drive, It by itself is a better performer vs its smaller counterpart. 120 GB isn't much space when one factors in the size of usable space after FS formatting,OS,SW and Games, not to mention when you throw in over provisioning at 10-20% of drive volume to help with performance over the lifetime of the drive. You really don't get a whole lot of usable space. 

 

So my vote goes to the larger EVO!

 

Hope that helps!
