Nvme 1tb or standard ssd

Rob43 · 10 May 2020 at 12:43

Just putting together a new build. I can't decided what way to go here. Been reading up a bit, but some advice needed.

At the minute, I am using an older crucial 256GB M500 as a boot drive. I also have a Bx500 250Gb. I would like to keep using them. I also have a 2tb wd hdd for storage.

Do I just use one of my existing crucial ssds as the boot, buy 1tb nvme or ssd for gaming drive?

Hope that makes sense

NVMe drives are SSDs, do you mean SATA?

Yeah, this is where I don't have a clue atm lol. 8 years since I last upgraded.

Are these overkill just for a games drive?

I was looking at these two

The Sabrent 1TB ROCKET NVMe PCIe M.2 2280

I was thinking, I could just use my Crucial BX500 for boot/windows.

Does that make any sense?

I think I'm going to get the sabrent rocket not the q version & use it for a boot drive & add another down the line

Cheers for the info folks
