Hi,

 

I'm playing around with a new system build for gaming. I'm looking at a 500GB Kingston A2000 NVME drive as my boot drive. My budget is tight, so I might just have to stick with this for now and put in a larger drive down the road, but just out of interest what's the cheapest SATA/NVME 1TB drive anyone would recommend?

 

I'm buying in the UK.

 

Thanks in advance.

If we skip the drives with no DRAM, the Kingston A2000 is still one of the cheaper 1TB drives and it's quite good too.

I would recommend it, should the budget be able to allow it.

I'm in the UK too, and personally, I have had a really good experience with the Crucial BX500 SSD drives.

They have a great, fast read/write speed of up to 540mb/s and are very reliable (DRAM cache etc.)

 

Good price too - 1TB available for £82 new from Amazon:
