[SOLVED] 250GB vs 500GB; which is better for OS drive?

[bestunta]

Hello all!

Will a 250GB 970 EVO PLUS outperform a 500GB 970 EVO as an OS drive?

Which will snappier and handle workloads faster and better?

Thank you

The 500 GB models are normally a tad faster according to the specs...but, certainly both would still seem snappy.

If selecting an SSD for an OS, I'd always start with at least 500 GB, and even these seem to fill up much faster than they did 5 years ago...

As for project files (3D files, premiere files, photoshop files, etc.), better/faster to have them on the same drive as OS (and software), or in separate, but slightly slower (10-20%), SSD?

I'd use 250GB for OS drive and 500GB for project files.

Thanks for the tip.
