For similar price MX300 beats everything since it is the cheapest price/size SSD

I already have a 120GB samsung 840 and it has my OS and some games. I have a 500GB WD Green for mass storage games but its too slow. I want a new SSD so i can have faster loading games and more storage.

I'm using a Samsung m.2 XP941 and a 1tb Seagate barracuda, ive literally just bought the same drive for the same reason. I don't know how much the m.2 version is, but you wont get any better performance from it, if you want a true m.2 grab a Samsung 950 pro or a newer 960
