[SOLVED] 256gb or 512gb for boot drive?? (NVME)

[fahoosa9]

This is the product im gonna buy : Adata XPG Gammix S11 Pro

Should i get the 256gb or the 512gb of this nvme ssd? i heard that 256gb will have slightly lesser write speed, will there be significant difference if im gonna use this drive as a boot and software drive??

Get 512 GB. Smaller one will fill up too quickly.
Better to get higher capacity one now rather than having to upgrade one that's become nearly full further down the line.

yeah sure the 512gb is a better deal if you have the money, but will there be huge difference in performance between the two?? im sorry, im just curious

Performance diff? No.
"slightly less write speed" would only be seen in artificial benchmarks.

As it's an NVMe SSD, any performance differences in the two capacities will be minimal, certainly not a relevant factor in choosing which one to get.
