Best NVME storage for £150

[DrBonesMcCoy]

I've been looking at the INTEL 600P 512GB Nvme M.2 PCI-E ssd for £160. Is there a better one out there for a similar price? I will use to to store games and be my boot drive.

What about Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 250GB? It's a bit cheaper than 160 but lower capacity.

In my opinion, 250 would be enough for OS and games.

I wan't to get rid of my two exisitng SSD's (128gb and 120gb). So either a 500gb approx or nothing. I want something that can be big enough to store the OS and multiple games.

Alot of my games (ARK, BF4,BF1) are large games and take a long time to load on a hard drive.

In that case: Crucial MX300 525GB M.2

Because the intel one uses PCI-E interface that has MUCH BETTER speeds.

I'd rather speeds comparable to that.

I'm aware, but there are only so many choices for that price range.

In a read world, you won't see much improvement anyway. The M.2 interface at 500 MB/s is already outstanding. Unless you're fetching multi-gigabyte files into something like Photoshop or Premiere.

you say that, but I filled both of the 240GB in my old gaming PC, so maybe not

Well I'm not a gamer so I don't know how much space the games take these days. All my games back in the days were up to 1GB.

Most of my games are 60gb+.

Then get the one from Crucial. Like I mentioned before, the speed drop will not be noticable to a casual/pro gamer.
