Which SSD?

The 660P is a great drive.....until its not haha. Its super cheap, the $/GB ratio is crazy good, but Linus reviewed it a few months ago, and shows that depending on your workload, it can actually be slower than a traditional platter-based drive (once the cache gets filled up). 

I think its a GREAT drive if you're informed about this limitation, and you're fine with it. If you buy it because "its a 99 dollar 1TB SSD" and you try to run massive files off it, you're gonna have a bad time. A crappy XPG or WD Blue will outpace the 660P all day long under heavy workloads. 

That's nonsense. This is how the 660p compares to a HDD:

Not sure if i'll move files that are that large, but i think i'll go for the corsair 1tb model, it's only 40€ more and much better specs

Not a bad idea for your workload.

Even Linus did a video on how bad the 660P sucks for certain workloads. 

 

 

It's a great video to watch. He even has pictures to show why it sucks UNDER CERTAIN WORKLOADS

Anandtech is a much better source of information. And you'll notice it's uniformly better across a very wide variety of workloads; usually a LOT better.
