120 or 240 ssd?

[HardStroke]

wassup guys

i'm getting a new kingston a400 ssd but there are 2 options:

1. a 120GB model for 27$

2. a 240GB model for 41$

is the extra 120 Gb really worth the 14 bucks?

i'm going to install WIN10, Chrome, steam (steam games on hdd) and discord (MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE cs:go cause its the only game i really play).

thanks for da help homies

Yes it absolutely is, windows expands very quickly. However I wouldn't get an A400. Look at a Team 3D for a cheap but decent option

Sandisk Plus SDSSDA-240G-G26 240GB SSD

is that better?

240GB is very borderline for a good experience, 120GB wouldn't be enough. Windows is already over 60gb.

Absolutely go for the 240gb.

4th vote for 240gb here. 120gb is very minimal for Windows 10. 240gb gives you more breathing space.

C:\windows\temp only sometimes already manages to take up 100gb.

Go for a 240GB if you can. I can eat up 120GB in a Windows VM without installing any games, launchers, or heavy applications. It just disappears.

The Sandisk SSD Plus is very bad.

 

BTW personally I would definitely go for 500GB rather than either 120 or 240, unless you're really pinching every penny.

not really i just want to refresh my pc with a new gpu and ssd

i dont really need 500GB of ssd storage because i have 3TB for all of my other stuff

Is an under $20 difference really worth consideration? Just get the bigger one. Even if you don't need the space, it's still better. You shouldn't fill up SSDs anyway.

240 just as everyone else has said. Granted, I had the Kingston A400 240 GB ssd and had no complaints. Served me well while I used it. Now its sitting on a shelf since I went all M.2 drives.

Yes it is worth the extra money, partly because of the extra storage as well as the performance being higher as the drive fills because 240gb has more flash chips to write/read simaltaneously.
