Just after thoughts on best bang per buck on a 1TB ssd mainly for a Steam game drive, I've seen a 1Tb Sabrent Rocket Q for £99 but anything around this price point will be great.
Cheers
 
Rocket is faster.

Edit the Rocket Q isnt the same as the normal rocket. I'd take the WD drive.
Thanks, yeah I noticed the Q version is not as good, just after the best SSD for around £100 either M2 or 2.5
I have 3 of them now, a Corsair F3 120gb, Evo 250gb and Evo 500gb and COD MW has basically wiped out the 250gb Evo lol
 
Reality is unless you're copying large files between storage devices that can actually get anywhere near those speeds, you're not going to notice any real speed or responsiveness difference.

That's correct but let's just say in the future I get another M2 drive with similar or better speed then I would notice.
I will have 5 drives in my PC when I install the M2 and at some point i would like to cut this down a little :)
 
Whilst it is considered normal that the fastest drive is the boot drive I would be tempted to use the new one as my games library. To me time booting the PC doesn't bother me too much, as long as it's reasonable but when I launch a game I'm often sat there, controller in hand wishing it would get into the game.

I'm going to be building my new rig soon and these are the drives I have with what I'm thinking of having on them:
-Samsung 850 evo 500gb (OS, Applications that run on boot & frequently used eg. Anti Virus, Web Browser etc)
-WD Green 240gb (Standard Applications used from time to time eg. Word processor, IDE) - This will be the least used drive so i like the fact it uses so little power when dormant, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter though :p
-WD Blue m.2 NVMe 1tb (Games, Games & more Games)
-Samsung F3 500g HDD (Media Storage) - Although I'm debating on just using cloud storage, plus I already have a Nas.


Sorry to HiJack, does that sound sensible?

That sounds good, pretty much what I'd do with those drives.
