Purchasing SSD

[OmniDyne]

I was so close to purchasing the $109 250GB Samsung EVO M.2 NVMe drive, but then (naturally) while at work, I get a notification about the 500GB 860 EVO 2.5" SATA drive being on sale for $99.

So I come home, and I can't figure out which one I want haha.

Is this really a tough decision?

 

[OmniDyne]

Yes, yes it is.

250 gb SSD is more then enough for most people. And if you really want fast bootup speeds, then get the NVME drive.

 

[Laquer Head]

Yes, yes it is.

Umm well - 250GB is more than enough for a o/s /boot drive and the speed/performance diff is night and day.,

Go with the nvme.!

Hehe I was just intrigued by that extra 250 gigs...but NVMe it will be. I've already got a SATA SSD with the OS on it, but my terabyte hard disk is already full ha, that's why I was like, hmm, a 500GB EVO sounds awesome.

 

[johnb35]

Wait, so you already have an SSD? Don't be buying this for added storage thats stupid, go for another platter drive.

 

[OmniDyne]

Yeah but NVMe...

go for another platter drive.

That would happen regardless. I mean $30 for a terabyte ha.
