2.5" 860 evo or m.2 nvme sx8200 pro? (1TB)

[Jambal Dyan]

Hi,

 

I plan on upgrading my 500gb 850 evo to a 1tb ssd. To my extreme dismay, the prices I paid for my unit is now equivalent to a 1tb sku, and I paid around 170-180 usd. 

 

Now I am choosing between a 2.5" sata 860 evo for 173 usd vs the m.2 nvme sx8200 for 157 usd.

 

I know samsung's 2.5" evo speeds can match even some nvme drives. But I do know that the sx8200 is not one of the bad ones.

 

So Which one do I go for, and why?

 

Hoping to gain some insight,

 

Thanks!

Get the SX8200 Pro. It is fast, and cheaper.

NVME drive are significantly faster only in very large files transfers, pretty much same in os .

and the 860evo you get is mostly overpriced..
