Intel 600p (price) or 960 evo

[d1sappeared]

I am about to upgrade my rig and i am confused if i should go with intel 600p 512 gb for 179$ or go with the samsung 960 evo 250 gb for 129$

I will notice any diffrences if i am only gaming and browsing or it will be a massive difference??

According to UserBenchmark the 960 EVO is much faster (one of the fastest on the market) > http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-960-Evo-NVMe-PCIe-M2-250GB-vs-Intel-600p-Series-NVMe-PCIe-M2-512GB/m200373vsm168978. But do you need the 512GB on the Intel one? If 250GB will get the job done definitely the 960 EVO. You probably wont notice the difference in web browsing and light apps but in Gaming the load times would be faster and Windows loading/boot would also be faster. So overall i suggest you get the Samsung 960 EVO for the speed (and cheaper) unless the capacity is of strong concern to you. Hope this helps

I am afraid the capacity is one of the concerns because i dont know how large i do need for windows 10 , battlefield 1 , overwatch , adobe programs (little use)

Yes the would more than likely push close 250GB but i doubt all of it. You could just get the SSD now and always grab a mechanical hard drive later any cheap 500GB/1TB for bulk storage if you need, the SSD will be enough for Windows (to be super fast) and your Adobe programs, just the 2 games you listed would fit fine with leaving some room leftover but not a whole lot if you decide on expanding your game library a lot more. Maybe another fairly large game to two, but if you don't plan on doing this it will be fine.

I will go with the 960 evo and iwill just install the online games that i play as i mentioned above and adobe programs and for the rest of offline games or apps i will install them on my another h.d.d drives which i have currently .
Thank you very much for replying

I have a last question to ask many storage drives when installed on system there will be a reduces capacity for the cache drivers etc..
how much will i have for the 250 gb evo ??

This is a Windows registry thing, all hard drives are smaller than advertised capacities. For example my 1TB drive is only 931 GB in Windows. Your 250GB should be 232GB. For future reference i included an online calculator for it > http://www.ussscctv.com/harddrivesizecapacitiescalculator.aspx.
