As the title says i have right now a 512 XPG sx8200pro for os drive and im considering to buy a bigger nvme along some other upgrades(cpu gpu ram) the 980 is dramless but faster on paper the adata is somewhat slower but have dram..... From what i see .. but im not very knowledgeable with ssds.... What do you think guys is the 980 worth the buy (95€)..
Moreover
If i buy the 980 im gonna make it os drive and add my most demanding games there and then i im gonna put the sx8200 on my secondary nvme slot (pcie 3.0 x2) as purely gaming drive and put my rest of the games there
Also if the 980 isn't worth the upgrade im considering to buy a western digital 570 (around 85€) and make it a gaming drive and install it on the second nvme slot pcie 3.0 x2
(And save 10€.) And keep my adata as the os drive as it is.
 
Solution
Side grade.
In a blind test, you'd never see any difference.

Leave the OS on the drive it is on now.
Add whatever other one you want for more capacity.
