So after trying out Manjaro Linux on a 70 GB partition on my HDD for a while, I want to get a 1 TB SSD to reinstall and (almost) completely switch from Windows to Linux. However, I'm getting a bit confused over which SSD to get. I've narrowed it down to a few options, most of which cost between 120$ and 150$ here in Sweden.
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SATA, 145$
Crucial MX500 1TB SATA, 139$
WD Blue 1TB SATA, 139$
Kingston A2000 1TB NVME, 139$
Corsair Force MP510 960GB NVME, 149$
Intel 660p Series 1TB NVME, 119$
Is NVME worth it if they are about the same price as SATA? From what I've seen, the difference is barely noticeable in normal use, even though NVME is a lot faster on paper. And then there's cache, which the Samsung 860 has, but none of the others do? How does that affect performance? The Intel 660p only has 200 TBW, compared to 360 and 600 on the other drives, is that a problem?
I'm currently running Windows installed on a 250GB Crucial MX300, with a 1TB WD Blue for storage. I would also like to add that I don't want to spend more than 150$, so all models above that price, like the Samsung 970 EVO is out of question.
