€150 budget storage

[The Imp]

Ok, so I got about €150,- to spend on storage in my new pc build. My motherboard has two m.2 slots available and my case supports some 2.5" drives and some 3.5" drives. 

Any advice?

I'd recommend an NVMe M.2 SSD for the boot drive: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-p1-500gb/p/N82E16820156200

And a 3.5" hard drive for mass storage: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822184773?Description=3.5" hard drive&cm_re=3.5"_hard_drive-_-22-184-773-_-Product

 

If you feel like spending more and trading some bulk storage space for quiet operation and a minimal performance gain, you could get a 1TB 2.5" SSD, like this one: https://www.newegg.com/western-digital-blue-1tb/p/N82E16820250088?Description=2.5" SATA SSD&cm_re=2.5"_SATA_SSD-_-20-250-088-_-Product

 

Or this one: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-a400-960gb/p/0D9-001B-00164?Description=2.5" SATA SSD&cm_re=2.5"_SATA_SSD-_-0D9-001B-00164-_-Product

Thanks, what do you think of SSHDs? Mainly the fireCuda series.

Not worth it.
