Which NVMe SSD to choose?

[AlreadyExist]

Hi guys,

 

I need help with buying NVMe SSD. I'm looking for a 1TB SSD at about 120$ US. It's for my personal PC, I play same games, do same programing, do some regular work.

I make a comparison between few, bu I can not decide which one to choose. These are my top picks: Crucial P1, HP EX920, MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro, they are all 1 TB.

In attachment I put file where I compare same basic spec between them, hoping that you guys could help me.

I recommend the Crucial P1.

You don't need an NVME just for gaming, buy a cheaper normal M.2 or Sata SSD, just sort by cache size on PCpartpicker

The cheapest 1TB with 1GB DRAM is MX500, and it is 110$. That's why I was thinking about NVMe. P1 is few bucks more, but it is faster.

I could not find it on amazon or newegg. Do you know where can I look elsewhere? I read that they are hard to find in US...

If it's not much more than just go for that assuming the cache size is comparable.

Me neither, that's why I was asking. But there is first time for everything.

Less cache/DRAM memory means that performance will decrease more as drive gets more data. MX500 is the only one on pcpartpicker that has written his DRAM memory. I know it is SLC compering with other TLC in this case, but I don't know is it better to buy fast TLC or slower SLC. That's why I'm here.

Maybe Intel 660p? Has pretty good price-performance

If you can get a SATA SSD for much cheaper, that would be a better choice. From what I've seen Intel 660p has been only a little more expensive than most reliable SATA SSDs though

970 EVO plus, really good, a bit expensive, but I love it, already bought 3 of them, 2x256 and 1x1tb

They got big performance issues when drive gets half full. I think I will go with Adata SX8200 Pro.

intel 660p and samsung evo 970

Intel P660- cheap, fast, and from a reliable brand.
