[SOLVED] Upgrading to a 2TB NVME from Intel 660p 1TB

[fatalshot808]

Hi I'm looking to get a new NVME SSD for as my main storage for my desktop. I'm interested in getting a 2TB. I was looking at the Crucial P3 for $169 and P5 Plus for $199. I was wondering if the P5 Plus is worth the difference in price.
I use this PC mainly for gaming I don't really do anything else besides web browsing and Youtube videos. My budget is probably $200 on the high end and I would prefer to spend less if the performance difference isn't there or not deemed necessary. Sadly I did see the P5 Plus on sale for $169 during the prime sale but I missed the chance to buy it. Are there any other SSDs you would recommend me to look into purchasing?

What mobo do you have?

I doubt you would see a diff between the p3/p5.

I have a x570 MPG Gaming pro carbon WiFi. It has PCI-E 4.0

It's your call.

I'll guess that if you had both disk you could not tell a diff.

Okay I'll most likely get the p3 or a WD black both are same price. Thank you for your help.

I've used numerous SN750 Blacks for years now, nevanottaproblemo, and I also installed several 850's in client builds throughout this year, same deal !

Not that I doubt that the Crucial drives are good also, but once I find something that just works, I tend to stick with it, at least until something significantly betta comes along
