intel 760p series 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD vs Western Digital WD Green 240GB 3D NAND SSD

[Chriszzz]

So im buying a SSD for storage for games such as player unknown battlegrounds etc. I have one SSD 120gb only for my OS. 

 

I know that the intel 760p m.2 nvme 256gb has a read speed of 3210mbs and a write speed of 1315mbs whereas WD green SSD has 545mbs read speed. 

 

I clearly don't know which one to get or is it noticeable difference between these ssd when it comes to speed and increase performance when playing games on them. I have my games on a Seagate Barracuda 1TB  Internal Hard Drive  (ST1000DM010) seems like my friend loads pubg faster on a ssd than me on on a HD.

 

the price difference is huge is it worth it? to go for the expensive one? intel 760p series m.2 nvme.

Can't compare speed like that, you need iops and to know how those number are made and at what queue depth. The real world speed difference is like 5% in load time normally.

 

 For games, id just get something like a mx500.

 

Or if you want a bit faster for a bit more money get a intel 660p.

the mx500 is a good amount faster due to the dram butter and doesn't cost much more.

 

Id get a 500gb ssd though, there normally faster and not much more money.
