[SOLVED] Is the Crucial bx500 good enough for a boot drive and some games?

[samurai7222]

Will the Crucial bx500 240GB be good for a boot drive and some games. I have a 1TB HDD for my large games. I'll just keep games that take a long time to load on the SSD. I'll mainly be using it as a boot drive.

The Crucial MX500 240G and WD blue 240G both are about 14 USD more than the bx500 in my area. But Amazon can't deliver the mx500 in my area right now. The WD Blue is available.

So should I just go for the bx500 or spend 14 bucks more and get the WD Blue. I really don't wanna spend the extra 14 if I'm not gonna notice a difference in day to day usage. I'm already over budget.

What is the budget? The BX500 is much slower, than the MX500, and probably the WD Blue also.

The BX 500 or WD blue both would be alot faster than a HDD

My budget was about 30 bucks but now I think it was way too low. I also read that the mx 500 and wd blue are very similar

Yea that is a bit low. I personally wouldn't go below a 500gb drive.
