Hi

Looking to add some storage to a work Dell 7070 SFF / i7-9700 / 8 GB

Currently has a 256GB M2 as its only drive.

90+% used for standard Office & browsing. Some photo editing, occasional AutoCAD, very occasional video editing.

Looking to add some addition local storage (most stuff held on a server).

Is there any reason not to go with this:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £89.99 (includes shipping: £0.00)​
​

or a SanDisk SSD PLUS 1 TB Sata III 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, Up to 535 MB/s, which I can get for pretty much the same money?

Thanks
 
Hmmm... 70+ views and no responses. Is that because no-one has anything to say? That would be a first round here!

I presume either is equally valid then - or someone would probably have told me where I was about to go wrong...?! :/
 
Thanks tamzzy.

a) Given what I'm doing with the m/c (mostly not much!) is there any real advantage in going that route? TBH, I've got a standard 1 TB HDD I could use, that would probably be fine - it's just I quite like the idea of a virtually silent PC on my desk!
b) How easy is it to clone from one M2 to another M2? Presumably I'd need some sort of adapter / external housing - I don't have 2x M2 slots.
c) I'd end up with less storage overall - although a spare M2, which I could sell / swap / find another home for.

Cheers

If you shop around you can also find the Crucial MX500 1TB for £91.54.

I did find this listed on a comparison site, but think it's now gone and I'm not sure whether it would have qualified for the full manufacturer's guarantee.

Many thanks for your help here.
