Hi,
I am planning to add second SSD to my PC and I was wondering which one shall I choose. I've read a lot of articles about SSD drives and I got to know that it is better to add some more money and buy MLC based drive rather than TLC.
I was looking in the stores in Poland, where I am from, and in my budget range there are two interesting drives mentioned in the topic.
Basing on your experience please advice me which one shall I choose. Or maybe there is some other piece worth thinking of?
My PC:
CPU: i5 4460
Mobo: ga-b85m-d3h
RAM: 4x4 DDR3 Kingston 1600
GPU: Asus Strix GTX970
Primary SSD: Plextor M5Pro 128GB
Secondary HDD: Seagate 250GB
Reason why I consider buying new SSD?
Games nowadays are consuming more and more space. As I use my PC for gaming mostly I'd like to have 2-3 games installed at once and ready to play - without necessity of downloading them every time I want to play (I have LTE internet at home with download limits). TheWitcher3 - which is my favourite game - "consumes" almost 40GB of space. Recently Blood&Wine DLC is comming and to have possibility to download it, I have to move all games (besides W3) to other drive. THis is kind of exhausting to remember about all the paths, savegames and so on later on to restore the games back. And as I had opportunity to play game installed on the ssd I surely won't go back to gaming from the standard HDD. The speed of loading is amazing!
That's why I thought that I'll leave my 128GB SSD for the OS and aplications, and the new SSD will be used for the games only. The old HDD will be for the rest (photos, movies etc).
What do you think about such idea?
