Well, it's that time of year again when my poor 240GB 730 series SSD is full.

I will need to upgrade to something a bit bigger but I plan on keeping the 730 Series.

 

I have a budget of around $350, and it'll be used for games and other things im too lazy to wait for.

Since u have a beast PC you have the slot for one (or 2) of these:

this is a LOT faster but you have to pay twice that for a 512gb model.
