Which NVME SSD should I get?

Rhaemond

Hey guys I'm having a hard time deciding on a 512gb NVME SSD for my build... Hoping to get your inputs on my choices. My options are:

 

  • WD 500GB Black SN750 (80.97USD)
  • Samsung 970 EVO (85.32USD)
  • PNY XLR8 CS3030 (73.98USD)
  • Klevv Cras C700 RGB (82.34USD)
  • Klevv Cras C710 (74.17USD)
  • HP Ex900 (77.93USD)
  • TeamGroup MP33 (67.05USD)
  • Kingston A2000 (71.75USD)
  • Adata XPG SX8200 Pro (72.81USD)

 

Or alternatively, should I just add a bit more and buy a regular 2.5" Patriot P210 1TB SSD for 97.03USD?


I mainly just game and stream, I also edit images and planning to do some video editing as well. I seldom copy files, and they'll just be usually some movies.
Any inputs will be appreciated, thank you so much!

It all depends, do you need/want the extra speed? Go for an NVME SSD then, if you would prefer double the space then go for the 1tb SSD. If you want an NVME SSD then personally I would go for rhe WD SN750 or the 970 evo, as they are good performers and from quality brands. If you could see yourself upgrading to an X570/B550 board in the future then maybe consider a Gen4 SSD, such as an MP600

Hm... Should I go for the WD Black or the 970 Evo then? The WD Black is cheaper, btw
I might be upgrading to a B550 board in the next year or 2, but I can't afford the Gen4 SSD at the moment since it's around double the price of Gen3 ones...
