Question Crucial P2 500GB vs A2000 250GB both at £35

[anb085]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a new SSD to install my system on. I've been pretty firm on the Kingston A2000, but today with prime day in the UK, the Crucial P2 T500P2SSD8 costs the same amount for double the storage. The P2 is DRAM-less, is that a big issue if I'm planning to run my system on it? Which one should I go with?

Thanks,
Anb

Get the crucial the extra space won't hurt.

Will not having DRAM on the system drive not hurt the performance? I will also be running a hdd so space shouldn't be a massive issue.

Most folks will never see the difference dram or not.

Between those two, the Crucial, no question.
