New SSD to replace (very used) HDD

[xDanielxOossiex]

So recently my pc started giving this notification (even before the boot screen of the mobo) that one of my drives is going bad. It's saying S.M.A.R.T. is predicting a failure.

Now I only have games on that 1TB HDD so I'm not worried at all about losing this drive. The drive has a total of 33,504 Power on Hours and 4006 Power on Count.

 

 

As HDDs are becoming kind of obsolete now, I want to upgrade to a 1TB SSD (even full SSD system later down the road), but there is so much info I don't understand. Like 4Krandom performance etc. I don't really care about all that info but I do just want a good drive for my games. Which one of the drives below is recommended for purely game storage? (I want an SSD to make my pc as quiet as possible)

These drives are the cheapest 1TB SSD in my county (The Netherlands):

I'd go with the 870 EVO.

There's no NVME drives?

There are NVMe drives, but I had filtrered them out

But here is the list of all the SSD's available:

Because I thought they would be more expensive. But would you recommend any of those drives that are in that list?

There's quite a few that I'd take a look into; Crucial P1, P2, WD SN550, Kingston A2000. I'd check out reviews on those. I think there's also an LTT SSD Tier List kicking around somewhere.

I stick to samsung ssd, theyve been really reliable for me. I have used the crucial mx500 though and it is also good with usually a lower price than the samsung

I like to stay Samsung as well, I already have 2 Samsung SSDs so they would only match
