[SOLVED] Looking for a New Storage (HDD,SSD) For Around 70$

[Bach0]

Hi, i'm currently having problems with the system, i believe because of dead PSU, but in case it turns out to be HDD instead, i want to be ready to replace it as well.

CPU: Intel Core i5-10400 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B560M-A Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard
Memory: Silicon Power XPOWER Turbine 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 580 4 GB ARMOR OC Video Card
Power Supply: EVGA BQ 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

This system can't take M2 because of Intel 10 gen CPU, so i have to go HDD or other SSD form factor other than M2. are there any trusted good ones in my price range? I want minimum of 1 TB space. Any SSD will be good, which is compatible with the system and faster than the current HDD

What size do you need? At $70, size defines type.

Minimum of 1TB space, but can't be M.2 factor. 10gen Intel CPU doesn't allow it

Assuming this is your motherboard, the M.2_2 slot can use a PCIe 3.0 drive, even with that CPU.

PRIME B560M-A - Tech Specs｜Motherboards｜ASUS USA

The PRIME B560M-A equipped outstanding specs with mATX size boards, including digital VRM with 8 power stages, PCIe 4.0 support with SafeSlot core+, DDR4 5000 (OC), two M.2 slots with one flexible M.2 heatsink, Intel® 1 Gb Ethernet, V-M.2 slot (Key E) for Wi-Fi ready, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-A...

At $70/1TB, your choices are slim.

Moving up a little in price:
(M.2) Samsung 970 EVO Plus at $105

(SATA III) Crucial MX500 at $99

Your motherboard has two M.2 slots.
M.2_1 can not used (because of 10th gen cpu).
M.2_2 can be used.

Intel®11th Gen Processors
M.2_1 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280
- Only Intel® 11th Gen processors support PCIe 4.0 x4 mode, this slot will be disabled for other CPUs
Intel® B560 Chipset
M.2_2 slot (Key M), type 2242/2260/2280 (supports PCIe 3.0 x4 & SATA modes)*
* M.2_2 slot shares bandwidth with SATA_2.When M.2_2 slot is operating in SATA mode, SATA_2 will be disabled.

1TB at 70 bucks your looking for a hdd.

If you can scrape together another 30 you can move into the ssd area.
Samsung/crucial/WD.

Well, a little embarrassing for me, but i'm happy i was wrong, because now i will target M.2 NVME SSD-s. I had this one in mind for a long time Silicon Power A60, it's not as fast as WD SN550 OR Samsung 970 EVO Plus series, but has good reviews and is cheaper. What do you guys think?

 

[punkncat]

IMO Silicon Power isn't a terrible budget choice. I have utilized them in builds where the owner was under a strict budget and to my knowledge none of them have had issue (that they told me about anyway).

The "speed" difference is unlikely to be a factor.
