SSD for a gaming PC

Go to solution Solved by Oshino Shinobu,

For most of your usage, you wouldn't see any real world difference between NVMe or SATA III. That said, NVMe is barely anymore expensive than SATA III SSDs now and you may as well spend a little more so you get the benefits of NVMe over SATA, even if it's infrequent. 

 

EVO Plus is the better of the two, but the EVO is still good. 

 

A good option right now seems to be the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro. One of the top performers and cheaper than some of the drives from the likes of Samsung and Intel. 

Hey,

 

I need help choosing Storage device for my gaming PC that I'm building

which should I get

NVME M.2 Pcie or Sata III

 

and which series is better and really worth it  in Samsung SSD's

Evo or Evo Plus

 

I didn't notice much difference in specs between them

so I thought its better to ask for a help :D

Thanks
