Gaming SSD

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

In reality all M2 SSDs are fast as ****.
Even the cheaper ones are incredibly fast!

Thanks
So I have also found this

Would this be better than the Sabrent Rocket Q?

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

Damn it!
I stumped up the extra £20 quid for the Sabrent Rocket 1TB
TLC.

Well done. At least you've now got the best one of the bunch.

Yeah, only thing left to decide is if to use it as drive C, partition it or just use it as a games drive for Steam etc

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
