hello right now i'm using m.2 adata sp 900 128 gb for system storage (looks like it's starting to fail after 1 yr of uses.
i have 2 options to change it with ssd 850 evo 500gb or m.2 ssd 850 evo 500 gb. in terms of price m.2 (mentioned above) 4$ cheaper in a local market than 850 evo 500gb SSD. which one should i choose ? (i prefer with durability (850 pro 5yrs warranty is out of my option)

my current rig :
msi z97 gaming 5
i5 4670k
ram 2x4gb kit (8gb) dominator platinum CMD8GX3M2A1600 C8
GTX1060 gaming x 6gb MSI
2tb wd blue

thanks in advance

Your ADATA M2 has a 3 year warranty.

SATA interface SSD's are more reliable because they stay a lot cooler than M2's, but both the Samsung and the ADATA are SATA interface SSD's anyway so you are only getting SATA III speeds no matter where you use them. PCIE 3.0 x4 M2's are the only ones worth using, otherwise just get a 2.5" SSD.
