Hi guys, I plan to buy an M.2 SSD (1tb) mainly for gaming but also for video/photo editing work.
My motherboard is an Asus x470 Prime-Pro and I don't know which M.2 to choose, what would you advise?

Thanks!

Hello!

My recommendation is:
Samsung 970 PRO 1TB (M.2-2280, NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4).
Main reason for this recommendation being its high quality V-NAND, which is: 2-bit MLC.

Most consumer SSDs use 3-bit TLC or even 4-bit QLC V-NAND, which both are slower, more unreliable, and less durable!

I hope this helps...
