Helo i want to buy one from these 2 nvmes for gaming which is better in gaming?

also some reviews are saying that the T500 is better from Western Digital WD Black SN850X is it true?/
 
I would go for the WD Black in a heart beat. As I posted in your other thread, they are my preferred choice. Crucial is decent also mind you.

Would need to look at benchmarks etc to answer that but I can’t see there being much in it performance wise.

You're going to see very, very little difference in gaming between high speed drives, aka Gen 3 - 5, and in most cases even SATA SSD's.

Buy the cheapest of the two, hell unless the 850X is dirt cheap I'd go for something like an SN770 instead. We're seeing a lot of posts lately focused on gen 5 NvME's for some reason for gaming related purposes, very strange.

I had an SN770 which failed within a couple of weeks. I got hold of an SN580, and for my use case both seem the same to me.
Obviously they're not but I'm not doing huge file transfers.
