60GB SSD For Windows 10

[c00lFD]

I wanted to get a SSD for my new Ryzen Build, the SSD will only be used for Windows. I found a 60GB Patriot SSD for $30 on newegg and was wondering if 60GB is enough for Windows 10 Home.

It is but unless you set up another drive to be the place where you downloads folder is you will run into space issues.

$16 more you get 120

60GB is enough, however in longer run you'll need more than that, all cache, downloads games usually are stored temporarly on C drive (looking at you Garena, Origin, and Blizzard launcher)

Okay, I'll get the 120GB then, maybe I'll even put some small programs or games on it as well.

Don't get a 120GB drive, not only is it slower than a larger SSD, it will die faster. Other have listed the other shortfalls.

If you're on a budget, check out Reddit. There's a fellow selling 275GB MX300's for $65.

So what? It's still faster than a Hard Drive?

So it'll also die a lot faster. There was more to what I said than speed.

Why will it die faster?

There are fewer NAND cells to write information to.
