ssd...?

[Jelee229]

I’m looking for an nvme ssd for my pc build, and I would like it if you guys could find a ssd for me that is the best bang for me buck. I’d like 1tb for it, as it will be my main storage. (Might do a 1tb hard drive as well :P)

 

please help, thanks

before i make a recommendation

Do you realy need a NVME SSD? becasue if you using it only for Gaming its Totaly Overkill and a Sata SSD will do the same job

Kind of helps if you give a location and budget.

Your not wrong but price difference on M.2 vs Sata SSD is not what it used to be.

You either want to buy 2nd hand and cheap and take the attitude "fuck it , if it dies i'll rebuild it"
or
Buy a known name and pay the price approx £10 per 100gb ish (in UK)

i recently went with :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0784SY515/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 Many people will advise a HDD for large stroage and M.2 to be kept for critical and OS only. Personally the difference in price £50 per tb , doesn't justify it for me. But if budget was tight then go 256gb m.2 (for thing you dont want to lose + OS) and 500gb/1tb hd 2nd hand. 

Just my thoughts

That's sata m.2, not an NVME m.2.

 

It will perform like a classic Sata 2.5 drive

That's QLC, so it's a trade off over TLC SATA rather than being better

Check out the Intel 760p NVME drives if you absolutely need NVME. Before you ask, Samsung 970 Evo Plus are good but they are also expensive. My set-up (laptop) is a Zephyrus G15 with two 970 EVO Plus, (500GB boot and 1TB for school work) Currently am enrolled in Computer Systems Technician program.
