You merely needed to mention the make and model of your motherboard. In which case, it's the X399 Aorus Xtreme from Gigabyte. Your motherboard;
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X399-AORUS-XTREME-rev-10/sp#sp

Storage Interface

1. 2 x M.2 connectors (Socket 3, M key, type 2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSD support) (M2M) (M2Q)
2. 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSD support) (M2P)
3. 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors
4. Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10

You also have 3 storage drives;
ADATA SX8200PNP
+
WDC WD40PURZ-85TTDY0
+
WDC WD4005FZBX-00K5WB0
^ then you have the option to drop in 2 more M.2 drives.

thanks for letting me know. i have rtx graphic card too. so still do i have extra pcie slot available ? can you also recommend the best budget drive?

 

[Gaganailawadi]

anyone can guide?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Samsung 970 evo.
If you want a bit more expensive/ better endurance, then Samsung 970 pro.

 

[Lafong]

Both of the available M.2 ports are PCIe 3.0. No reason to go for a PCIe 4.0 drive.

I assume this will be a storage drive only, not the C drive.

A lot of different drives would be fine.

One possibility is an Intel 660P or 760P.

Others by Crucial, Western Digital, or Samsung would also be acceptable.

Thanks for the message. yes its for storage device only, c drive is having ADATA m2 drive already.

so i don't have pcie 4.0 in my system ? i though i have powerful system 🙁
pcie 4.0 is faster then 3.0 right?

Samsung drives are not available in your region?

 

[Lafong]

No, your motherboard does NOT support PCIe 4.0.

A 4.0 drive connected to your motherboard would run at 3.0 speeds.

It doesn't matter much anyway. There is very little difference between 3.0 and 4.0.

Do you insist on an ADATA brand?

What capacity do you require?

The most important thing is reliability, but there's not much you can do to predict that.

I'd think most about capacity, price, return privileges with the seller, and warranty. It might be worthwhile to try to find a review of the drive.

Do you have a link to the store you will buy from? Maybe we can find something at your specified capacity.

ok if there is not much difference then its ok.

i am looking for 1 TB or may be 2TB if its little cheap

i am focusing on adata as its good in terms of price and i already have that in my c drive so thats why

I took a quick look at that web site.

At 2 TB, I would consider:

https://mdcomputers.in/western-digi...-nvme-wds200t3b0c.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC

https://mdcomputers.in/samsung-970-evo-plus-2tb-m-2-nvme-mz-v7s2t0bw.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC

At 1 TB, I would consider:

https://mdcomputers.in/western-digi...-nvme-wds100t3b0c.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC

https://mdcomputers.in/crucial-p3-1tb-m-2-nvme-ct1000p3ssd8.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC


You could certainly spend more and get small improvements that would not be worth it for me on an ordinary storage drive.
