It doesn't really matter if you're a beginner or not, what matters is your budget and what you'll do with it

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please聽馃え

Best: Corsair MP600

Great: ADATA SX8200 Pro, Samsung 970 Evo (Plus), HP EX950

Good: Intel 660p, Crucial P1 (would not nescecarily recommend for an OS drive/if you want to use more than 700-800GB of it)

Good SATA: Samsung 860 EVO, Crucial MX500

SSD for gaming:聽https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#sort=ppgb&t=0 <--cheapest thing on that list you feel comfortable with (some people may be sketched out by 'Team' but not 'Crucial').

聽

For more hardcore work: running a bitcoin/ethereum node, video editing, file server, etc type workloads: Samsung 860 Evo (DO NOT get the QVO. It's as slow as a mechanical hard drive in many cases)

If it's just for games, get an Intel 660p or Crucial P1.

If it's also for the OS, get a Sabrent Rocket, ADATA SX8200 Pro, HP EX950 or Samsung 970 EVO.

Pretty much what @minibois said, I'd go for the cheapest ones since for games it really makes no difference
