Best bang for the buck NVme drive (1tb - 2tb)

[Escapenz]

So i just picked up one of those AORUS Gen4 AIC Adaptor for next to nothing (also next to impossible to find over here) and im now looking at drives to fill it with. My PC currently does have a samsung 970 nvme but i really do not want to spend big bucks to fill it with those drives (even if they are amazing). So im looking for great options to fill it with. Drives will be run in raid 0 as it will just be for games and nothing else. So what do people recommend i go with ?

Kingston A2000, WD SN550 at 1TB. At 2TB, ADATA SX8200 Pro.

Personal recommendation is a Samsung 970 EVO. It may not be the best $/GB but it does have premium quality and excellent performance at a good price.

 

I think you can get a 1TB one on Amazon for like $180 USD.

 Amazing drives but really not keen to spend $740usd when they will just be in a raid 0 anyways

Ooooh I didn’t know that.

 

I wouldn’t go with the cheapest one though. Linus even did a video on why you should never buy the cheapest of anything. I’d go with a lower cost one but not the cheapest possible.
