[SOLVED] Which hard disk drive would you recommend for OS in a new rig?

[silnox]

These are the SSDs I was considering, WD and samsung cheap 1tb HDDs. I do not know much about differences in M.2 and normal SATA, etc... So I could use some help.

The idea is using it for the Operative System so It should be fast but reliable, I usually also store some games on main hdd.

1. WD Blue 3D Nand SSD M.2 1TB SATA3 100€
2. WD Blue 3D Nand SSD SATA 1TB 100€
3. WD Blue SN550 SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3 104€
4. WD Blue SN550 SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3 105€
5. Samsung 870 EVO SSD 2.5" 1TB SATA3 Negro 114€
6. Samsung 870 QVO SSD 1TB SATA3 114€

What do you think? Which one should I choose and why?

The rigg is a R7 5800X with a MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk wifi

NVME SSD is way faster and reliable than SATA SSD. More here...

And since there is only one NVME option in there, the choice is simple. They are both same basically...

1. WD Blue SN550 SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3 104€
2. WD Blue SN550 SSD 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3 105€

You want a SSD, ANY SSD, not a hard drive.

1tb is a good size, and such a drive will have about the same price.
I would pay a bit more for samsung or Intel.
They can control quality better since they make their own components.
With your apparent budget, the very best will be a 1tb samsung 980 pro pcie 4.0 ssd

Thats the one I took . Seems NVMe performance is quite impressive.

Thank you.
