[SOLVED] Which SSD (SATA & M.2)

[Subatago]

I'm looking for a 1TB SSD but can't really figure out which ones the best to choose. I'm planning to run a second OS, games, VM's off of this SSD.

I'm looking at: "Samsung 860 QVO 1TB", "Crucial MX500 1TB" and as M.2 option: "Intel 660p 1TB M.2"



Which one of the first 2 is the best to pick?

I also wonder if its worth it to get the intel 660p M2, its only 120€ at the moment and has quite good speeds, but is it any good/reliable?

What motherboard and CPU do you have?

MX500 is better due to the type of memory used.

And for an M.2 the Intel 660P is a good drive, I have one. Be aware it is PCIe NVME not a SATA M.2, so you motherboard has to support that.

As long as you're not doing lots of heavy, sustained writes I doubt you'd notice much a difference between any of those drives. If the 660P is the cheapest then that would be a fine choice.
