Dumb question I know, obviously the 850 pro is faster and the mx100 is cheaper, however I'm actually asking about differing capacities. The 512gb crucial is £147, and the Samsung is £133. My question being what is a better buy? The crucial could hold all my current hdd files while the Samsung could only hold the os + major apps and some of my games.

The Samsung is considerably faster but offers little value in terms of price per GB. Or maybe I could get a cheaper 256gb.


In essence, is it better to hold all my data on a 500gb drive or just the essentials on a lower capacity but faster one?
