storage Good NVMe mid tier drive

Kd4lif3 · February 18, 2019

Im looking at upgrading my pc soon and I've got about 300 cad to throw around. My tendency to hoard chrome tabs while in games is a problem I don't intend to address so a ram upgrade is nessicary. I've found a set of HyperX Predator RGB 16GB DDR4 3200MHz at my local MemX on a big-time sale. After this, I am still left with a storage issue, I've got about 16 gigs left on my ssd and 60 on my hard drive. I was looking for an upgrade for the ssd and thought I would go for an NVMe drive. There are a lot of options and thought I would ask someone who is more experienced with storage. I have about 100 cad with some flexibility and I need something with either 240 or 500 ish (my current ssd is a sata drive with 128 gigs). I'm looking for one available at this store because I would rather go in store than get it shipped https://www.memoryexpress.com/Category/HardDrives.

Thanks!

Well, personally I would go with a 240Gb SSD SATA drive AND a 2TB HDD, the NVME drives are more expensive and in most real world situations aren't noticeably faster.
