I’m choosing between a Crucial p1 500gb and a Crucial Mx500 500gb.
They are both similarly priced, the P1 is an M.2 and has faster speeds but no cache, the Mx500 is a SATA6 and has ~512mb of cache.
I don’t really understand the importance of cache, the Mx500 is slightly more expensive, so is it worth the extra cost, even paying for higher capacity SSD’s with cache. Like I know what it does: Stores your last information and predicts what you’ll do next so it can have things ready for you to do faster, but does it have that much of an impact? Will I notice a difference in gaming? Moving large files?
