Posted October 28, 2020 Just curious what most people would do. I'm not buying anything. Just want to know what you would do yourself and why. If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Posted October 28, 2020 get the A. put yoru system and main thing on the better drive. Games etc on the bx500. makes more sense I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Posted October 28, 2020 I choose a But imo I think maybe setting the "500gb"( I would use something smaller) as a cache for all other drives. so I get a buff on all drive regardless if it a slower ssd or added storage of any kind in the future.
