MoBo Asus TUF Gaming Pro B450
GPU on-board
RAM 16GB DDR4 3200Ghz

CASE Corsair 275r Airflow+6 fans (3 Arctic F12 PWM+3 Noctua 12 PWM)

For (in this order): Gaming; Internet; Office.

Which SSD of these should I mount in the first PC and which in the second one:
- Crucial MX500 500GB CT500MX500SSD1

- Kingston SA2000M8 500GB SSD M.2 2280 NVMe XTS-AES?


Should I buy and mount a cooler on the Kingston NVMe? Which one?

Keep it simple.
Put the crucial ssd in each machine.

Crucial in both.
The Kingston needs to be kicked to the curb.

I would have to agree the Kingston might be a bit quicker probably nothing you could notice for what your using it for but I would trust the MX 500 to last longer.

Flip a coin.

With that use, in a blind test, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I would put the MX500 in the PC that will be used the most.

I might even consider the other way around.

Make the Kingston die earlier, so he can get a refund and buy something else...

Good point to bad they would probably just RMA it.
