SSD

[Flawizz]

so for my new build i want to get an ssd just for windows. as storage i have a 2tb hdd from seagate, but i dont have much left for the ssd, i found a cheap one, is this any good?: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/537659/intenso-sata-iii-high-120gb.html

 

also i saw a comment on one of linus his videos asking that if he puts windows on an ssd, will windows kill the ssd by writing log files and other files generated in windows.

im new to building pc, so i dont know anything apart from building and setting it up, but things like these keep on popping every day, kinda scared that im missing lots of things when building a pc.

 

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest to look into the MX300 for a budget option for an SSD.

Writing logs and other files will never kill a drive. The SSD seems OK, but I wouldn't depend on it too much. Id save up for a Samsung or am Adata. Here's a cheap SSD from Adata and they're reliable.

Where are you from? SSD prices are different in Europe than in US

Intenso is cheap before anything else.

Crucial is pretty good, but I haven't use them much. Like I said before, I'd rather save up for a good SSD if you're putting your whole OS on it...

does that mean it has bad quality, so not worth?

Okay, so don't listen to any of these guys. They're from US. Europe is a different kind of beast. They've no idea how much things cost here. 

The Crucial MX300 is a good option.

It's a very entry level SSD, with lower writes on the small sized SSD's, the MX 300 uses the newer 3D nand flash with a better controller.

Their USB sticks are dead slow, and their USB disks aren´t much faster.

 

I´d rather buy a used (or new) Intel SSD than a new one from Intenso.
