[SOLVED] Best 240+GB SSD under $60?

[BobMcSmith]

Hello! I'm upgrading my PC, and I'm looking for the best SATA SSD that is over 240GB under $60. Also, side-question. Is the HP EX920 really the best NVME SSD under $60? Thanks!

Probably an 860 EVO,

However, do you actually need the "best"? Or would decent, with a larger capacity suffice?

Example, 500GB WD Blue SATA SSD for $58

As fpr the EX920, it depends how you're quantifying as "best". It's one of only a handful of NVMe drives available <$60, so by default it's one of the 'best;.
On paper, it's specs are pretty decent for the money - but most users are unlikely to 'feel' much of an improvement over a SATA SSD - especially when you can have near double the capacity in a SATA drive for similar money.
