You can consider the Intel 660p, Kingston KC2000, WD Blue or any SATA SSD, or an SSHD

I am looking for a storage solution for my new PC, but I need fast storage (about 2TB) and was looking at M.2 drives. Do you know of a 2TB SSD? I will be getting the MSI B450 Tomahawk MoBo, is there a limit to the capacity? 

 

I know about Samsung 970 EVOs, but I mean they are so expensive in my country.

 

Please leave suggestions,

 

Thanks,

What's the use case for the SSD? You might not need NVMe speeds, just SATA speeds, which will be a ton cheaper.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
