My main HDD finally died, so I see this as the perfect moment to upgrade to an SSD, I intend to put the OS (Win 7) there and a couple of games (mainly the ones whose load times averaged 1 min before the HDD's death). Initially I thought in buying a 250GB MX 500 but that money gives me some options of higher capacity or different brands with lower costs, namely:
Kingston SA400S37 480 GB
ADATA ASU650/ASU630 480GB
Gigabyte GP-GSTFS31240GNTD 240GB
Western Digital Green WDS240G1G0A 240GB
Western Digital Blue WDS250G2B0A 250GB
I don't intend to really fill/empty it a lot and a reduction from the nearly 10 min. that took the PC to finally be usable anything is a win, i.e., a difference of 5 seconds on boot/load times isn't a critical factor for me. So, the main question is: the MX500 is really worth the extra money?
Also, from the Crucial site I've figured that the MX500 is compatible with my mobo, so I assume the rest of SSDs are too but even then: Is there a chance to find troubles while installing the OS/drivers, due to compatibility and not my own stupidity?
My specs (I know this ain't amazing nor new by any means):
FX-6300 Black Edition
M5A78L-M-plus-USB3
2*4GB RAM
RX 570 8GB
650W PSU
Thanks in advance.
