My 1TB WD Black is getting a bit small for games, speed isn't too bad as with 24GB it caches fair bit into RAM.

It's a older Intel X58 board so latest and fastest SSD isn't required as it's SATA 2 only. What's a good affordable large capacity SSD? If I can get a 3TB SSD for decent price?
 
Performance is better with the more expensive one. Will it matter on SATA 2 board though?

It has SATA 3 controller but I think it's quite poor Marvell chipset? Lacks trim on the data 3 controller if I recall

I had an x58 board and stuck with the sata 2\Intel controller.

The Marvell controller was terrible and gave me issues (crashes, bsod, etc) so stuck with the Inel.

Using Intel with an Samsung 840 i was getting 250mb read/write but moved away from this system a few years ago now and got an nvme drive

I'll try using crystalmark and see what I get
 
2TB Crucial SSD 2.5" is ok price Has anyone used PCI-E adapter with X58 wouldn't want to buy it and doesn't see it in windows

Not great speed :-( also stock windows chipset/sata drivers as no dedicated new Intel release. I've got same SSD in SATA 3 machine I'll see how that fairs, again stock windows chipset/sata, same MX500 500GB SSD 2.5"
