Recently my computer just restarted and started rattling horribly, so the time has come to replace my hard drive with an SSD finally. It's not dead, but I want enough life left in it to clone it to something else, so for now I am not using my computer.
I have $20 saved up and my parents can spend $80 so I was searching for a 250GB SSD. And one came up, the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. But the thing is, it comes in a SATA SSD and M.2 2280 variants which both cost the same! So there must be no performance difference, right?
Here's my thoughts about the SATA SSD:
-The cage for it is out of sight
-But the performance may be worse
And on the other hand,
-the M.2 drive is faster, supposedly
-However it is ugly and the M.2 port is right there, through the side window.
Which one should I pick?
