SSD for main boot PC for moderate content creation

[JoeAceJR]

My new PC

 

Ryzen 7 3700x or Ryzen 9 3900x

Gigabyte x570i motherboard

Powercolor red devil 5700xt

32gb or 64gb ddr4 3000 Mhz ram

Thermalright  AXP-100  cooler (180 watts)

Silverstone  ML07B case

Corsair SF600

 

I know I am going to get a 2tb intel 660p for my game library. I will barely ever write to the Intel 660p other than saving final video or photo projects to it, or downloading games to it. I also know that I am going to get a 1tb very fast SSD that is a TLC drive (preferrably NVMe). The way my motherboard is set up is there is the chipset fan that will blow air over one of the m.2 slots, and the  other one is on the back of the motherboard. I do not want either drive to  get dangerously hot, but the way my case will be  setup is it  will  be horizontally oriented but there will be feet that raise it up a little bit. I just need a very fast 1tb drive (TLC or MLC) that can handle pretty much any moderate workload on it. That  1tb drive will have Windows, divince resolve, gimp, and  more content creation  tools. I will use Windows 10 pro.

So basically, which 1tb drive would be best  for what I want to do?  No, im not getting the Samsung 970 pro, or an optane drive, im not in the market for it.

What kind of content creations are you going to be doing? the RX5700XT is a gaming card and while it's very good at it the performance as a hardware accelerator is atrocious and if you'lll do more work than game you might want to reconsider it.

 

Now about the topic on hand, a good boot drive? These are some good alternatives for what you have in mind:

Just editing videos, with little to no after effects, and pictures, and coding video games. Not like AAA titles but ya know just minor indie games. I use gimp to create memes. I may do some live streaming also but just for fun. I will be gaming like 80 to 90% of the time. That may change over time though, but I do not see myself doing anything too professional. I will mostly be gaming at 1080p high to ultra max at 144 fps. Not in AAA titles or anything just minecraft, csgo, games that just make alot of fps. 

 

Thank you for the  SSD list btw. The adata Sx 8200 and the Corsair mp510 are pretty much the same price, which would  be best?

Oh if that's the case then we're fine to go 5700XT.

 

All those SSDs there are somewhat on pair with one another.

 

The ADATA SX 8200 uses the SMI SM2262 controller with Dual-core, 8-ch, 4-CE/ch processing and features 3D Micron TLC NAND.

 

The Corsair MP510 uses Phison E12 controller with Quad-core, 8-ch, 4-CE/ch processing and features 3D Toshiba TLC NAND.

 

So the bottom line is that the Corsair MP510 has better controller and processing layout but worse NAND while the ADATA SX 8200 uses better NAND but falls a bit short on the controller and processing layout.

 

It's in the end 6 for half a dozen... I suppose I'd go with the Corsair MP510 here personally.

Where did you get the data from the MP510 and the sx 8200? Like which website did you go to in order to get that info?
