which would be best 1tb nvme for me without spending too much money? is the adata xpg sx8200 pro still ok or would i be better with say a corsair mp510?
thanx
 
Got 2 x 960gb mp510 myself
Certainly recommend them
Though prices have shot up lately
Only paid 115 around Xmas for mine
Not tried adata but lot of people like them
 
thanx @Mcnumpty2323
nvme will work on my asus strix z270h wont it? just says
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)*1
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)
6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s)
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10

Yeah should do
Got a 2nd pc here with strix z270-e in it
Runs pci~e 3.0 x4 M2 fine
 
really happy with my adata can definitely vouch for it. just don't pay over the odds for any of them some drives are grossly overpriced.
 
thanx :) is it much slower compared to the corsair mp150? i know the corsair has more iops



thanx :D

i dont actually know how they stack up against one another sorry. i got mine cause i saw it was £99 and jumped on it as always wanted a nvme. another one to consider is the sabrent rocket which reviews really well.

here is the screenie of crystal disk when i got it if it helps with regards to speed.

It's not just flat out speed that matters
Unless you have 2 or more of these things to copy to/from
You won't notice much if any difference from a 2.5 sata ssd at 550MBs
Except in benchmark
As access times are so fast anyway
I choose the mp510 for its outstanding endurance /TB written as well

Actually those random access times/read rates aren't really any different from slowest NVMe to latest PCIe v4 NVMe.
Even SATA SSDs don't them much slower.

That's why game data storing format would have to change completely for ever higher sequential speeds to make real difference.
And even for loading that Windows hibernation file (what normal Windows boot does) there's little difference between SATA and NVMe...

Yes that's what I said /meant
Though may have worded it wrongly
I am a bit dyslexic :)
 
so i wont see much difference between the adata or corsair and my samsung 850 evo 500gb?
In real life use not really in my opinion anyway
An 850 evo is just so fast anyway
I have 3 x M2 drives and 3 x Samsung 2.5 ssds
If I didn't know which I had booted up from I wouldn't be able to tell
Copying to /from my m2s is where they slaughter 2.5ssds
Sometimes the transfer window doesn't even open before it's completed lol
 
I recently purchased a 1TB M.2 NVME drive for my PC as my other drives were getting low on space.
The reason I went this route was because I already have 3 x SSD Drives and one Sata drive.
I have 3 x M.2 slots on my motherboard and with todays prices not too far between M.2 and Sata SSD then why not? obviously if there were a massive price difference then my decision would be different but the Sabrent Rocket 1TB for around £130 is not a bad deal.
 
thanx guys il most likey get the sabrent rocket 1tb and clone the drive from my samsung 850 evo 500gb with mini tool partition wizard free as i need more space anyway and il register it for the 5 years warranty :)
