Im sourcing parts for a new build and I'm confused between getting a NVMe and a SATA ssd drive for my OS, Web browser and some apps and prolly some games(Games will be transferred to my HDD later on)
It's a PC that's going to be used for moderate gaming and Just the regular student stuff, Word processing, Mild photo editing and the like.
NVMe drive - Corsair MP510 240GB - ₹4,800($67)
SATA drive - Samsung 860 Evo M.2 240GB - ₹4,100($57)
Although I'm aware of Crucial MX500 it's tough to get my hands on one. The only other decent SSDs are the ones above. My main priority is having a DRAM cache and many of the budget ssd's do not have one. Having a m.2 form factor is highly preferred but I ready to go for a 2.5" drive too.
Also, I probably shouldn't be worried about this but will SATA be outdated in the future and probably getting a NVMe is a safer bet?
Also, Is having HMB better/substitute for not having a dram-cache?
