Moving over to an SSD setup from a HDD one; I already have a 120gb ssd with windows and a couple of games on it and I am looking to buy a 500gb ssd to be my main storage device; I only use around 250gb of storage on my computer atm as I only play a few games so 500gb is perfect for me. I am looking specifically on amazon and I have no idea which drive would be the best option; I currently am looking to spend approximately £50. The SanDisk drive looks to be the best option in my opinion but I am not sure which is why any help at all would be very, very much appreciated! Although the write/read speed is an important factor for me; I think the reliability of the drive is more important to myself.

 

Tysm for anyone who helps!!!

Agree 100 %. It's super affordable, and although the TBW won't break any records realistically it's still more than you need.

Would not but it, it's slow and from what I have been told it has random flash death.

 

Rather get the MX 500 which where I'm at is cheaper, faster and higher quality

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
