Need help with choosing SSD

[-Dragneel-]

I am going to buy a new SSD in a week or so, I cannot decide should I go with M.2 SATA or NVMe device? My mostly usage will be Programming and light gaming now and then. I am currently thinking of ADATA XPG 8200 500GB, in this price I can also get EVO 970 but of 250GB. Can any one suggest me a good SSD?

Id probaby just get a sata ssd for this use. Id get something like a mx500 or 860 evo, but if the sx8200 isn't much more you cna go for it.

The 960 EVO isn't a SATA SSD.

Get an Samsung 860 EVO or Crucial MX500.

I think if you're going to use up that m.2 slot, you might as well put a NVMe in it (assuming it supports NVMe). No point wasting it on a SATA one.

Well first make sure it will work ... what kind of board is this going on?

I have Omen 15-ax250wm, and I am planning on buying NVMe SSD 500gb(2x lane) rather than Evo 970 or any SATA. I have to buy a HDD too, so no SATA option for me.
