Hi y'all, not sure if it's the right place to ask but, I'm considering buying one or two SSDs to store games (PC and maybe Xbox S) and files/photos/etc, eventually backups if needed.
(my current pc is a laptop HP 15-dw2006nl, should have at least USB-C 3.2 but anyway I'm planning to upgrade to a new one soon)
Would be better to have one for all (4TB or more) or two separate ones (2TB+2TB or more)?
My current list of choices would be:
- WD_BLACK P50 or P40
- SanDisk ExtremeV2 or ExtremeV2 Pro
- Samsung T7 Shield
What's your advice?
Thanks!
 
I'd get two 2TB instead of one 4TB. Might be cheaper that way? Also less "eggs in one basket". Do you need the 1GB/s speed of the T7 or would a cheaper (slower) Crucial X6 suffice?
Actually no, but the idea is to buy these two ssd and not change them until they die and with keeping in mind that in the near future I'll need those speeds
