Which SSD should I get?

[ZolfWig]

Hi, I would like to know which SSD is better for Gigabyte Z690 UD

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zFK2FT/western-digital-blue-sn550-500-gb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds500g2b0c

OR

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TwWfrH/samsung-970-evo-plus-500-gb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-mz-v7s500bam

 

Originally I was gonna buy this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Y6YLrH/team-mp34-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-tm8fp4001t0c101 

but I already have a 2 TB Hard drive waiting to be placed in my PC

Both are solid choices. Flip a coin. 

 

May want to also look for Samsung 980... relatively new product, good.

Not sure if $70 was pushing it too far, but that would get you a WD SN750 500GB if you want to get "ahead of the curve" w/ Gen4 storage.

The spanner (wrench) in the works is what difference there is between the SN750 & the SE version (oddly, £25 cheaper...?) but if the SE isn't Gen4* that that'd be why.

*PC Part Picker REALLY need a Gen4 filter for storage, the more mainstream it's becoming...

970 evo plus all the way. Or wd black sn750

 

If you want pcie gen4 you'll have to go up to a 980 pro or sn850. 

 

Don't touch the 980 or the wd se, they're budget and dramless.
