I have an old seagate barracuda which is sandwiched behind my mobo tray, against a glass side panel. Its about 8 years old and used as a storage drive with all windows storage folders pointed there.
My daily driver is a 256gb Samsung 850 Evo SATA SSD with a 256gb Crucial MX300 m.2 Sata drive as my games drive.
I figure its time to get rid of the barracude HDD, i have a spare NVME slot and was weighing up what 500gb drive to use for storage. - or i may port my OS to it as the others are SATA.
So i have seen all the benchmarks and appreciate the differences in speed which dont translate to the real world for general use and gaming - so if we factor in the actual buy price right now - what is the best bang for buck vs performance drive to get? I get the Crucial P1 had a bad ride of it - but the price seems to have fallen so does this make it a new proposition?
Crucial p1 @ £80
Intel 660p @ £100
Samsung 970 evo @ £115
