Best M.2 SSD??

[Guest]

Im looking for M.2 SSDs with 256 GB of capacity for under $110. Any suggestions? I have some Intel one planned right now. Would that one be reliable?

MX300 or SU800. Be mindful of the PCB color.

It's cleaner and easier to install due to less cables.

you could go for an intel 600p, i think the 256gb is only like $100

PCPP has been acting up for me lately as well. I think you have to use the left-side to narrow the results by brand rather than just typing "SU800" or whatever.

NovaMan01, 

 

that ssd is sata 3 so the only benefit is space savings its also the same price of a 600p

is the 600p necessarily better in some aspect that im missing?

[Jaxzzzzz]

it runs over the NVME protocol and therefore is faster than traditional sata 3 drives

 

[Jaxzzzzz]

it is on the slower side but is still greater in speed to the crucial option you presented

i take back what I said about price however the 600p is currently running about $130 but it is still a great value.

The speeds are low enough that a good sata ssd can beat it tho. Performance is similar to an 850 evo. That's not to mention for apps and boot up NVMe isn't useful at all.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nevermind its out of stock

[Jaxzzzzz]

another correction, the price of a 256gb 960 evo is the same as the 600p so go with that if you want to spend the extra 20 at all

so would i get any large detriment by going with the Crucial drive?

[Jaxzzzzz]

if you compare a budget NVME drive to somthing like an 850 evo the evo maxes out the sata bandwidth while the 600p is able to achieve faster speeds
