NVME 1TB SSD comparsion

[Baterka]

I am planning to buy NVME SSD for my desktop and I want to choose the best one in category...

 

I found that those drives have similar price in my country:

 

Kingston KC2000/KC2500 1TB

ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB

ADATA XPG S11 GAMMIX Pro 1TB

WD Black SN750 1TB

Samsung EVO 970 EVO 1TB

 

Which one choose when I want fastest overal speeds (not just sequential, but also small files), best sustained write speed and what disk will probably last longest?

 

I had S11 Gammix 480GB and it died after 2 years (speeds are like 1/4 what they were, after 27.5 TBW)

 

When I choose 512GB versions of those drives will your choise change?

 

Or should I just pay more and get EVO 970 Plus which seems like top end what I can get? Or is it not worth?

based on these reviews at tomshardware, the SN750 looks like the one with the best sustained performance numbers

You don't need 1TB ssd.  A Windows 10 fresh install uses 40-50gb of storage and with some essential programs it may go up to 100gb tops. So you need 265gb for a boot drive to be on the safe side.

 

If you want storage for your games an HDD is fine and if you want to go over the top do Raid0 with 2 identical HDDS  Price per GB is far better with HDDs, games today are huge and you address the speed issues an HDD has with Raid0

I never said I want it for gaming. I have 3TB Barracuda for that.

 

I want it mainly for programming. I have many projects, downloaded libraries and dependencies (npm is fuckin stupid with number of small files).

 

I had 480GB and it was starting to limit me when one project have 4GB and I need to have many other tools on ssd to be faster in indexing etc.

If they're all the same price, i'd get the Samsung. 2nd choice would be the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB.

100gb for windows 10? somebody isntalled windows on 12gb of storage and it used around 10.5gb

100gb with programs that you need on the C drive and that the absolute max so you have the worse case scenario in your mind when you buy your OS boot drive.  Windows 10 without modification takes about 40gb and you can narrow it down to whatever you want.
