Current SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB. Already running out of space for games, 20GB remaining Should I add a SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB or 1TB or should I go with an M.2 500GB? Or, is that overkill, should I go another way? Bottom line: what's the best solution to adding more storage space while maintaining current performance and not spending unnecessary cash? Primarily a gaming PC, my son does some game video recording, editing, joining.
Build: CPU CORE i7-6800K (15M Cche, 3.60 GHz) currently overclocked to 4.20 GHz
Windows 10
MSI x99A Gaming Pro Carbon
GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1060
Ripjaws V Series DDR4-3200 16GBx2 (BTW, these are killer)
Samsung V-NAND SSD 850 EVO 250GB
Corsair H115i Hydro Series liq cooler

Yeah, I the videos are going to take significant space. I'm pretty sure I'll go with 1TB, but what type of storage drive? Should I go cheap (HDD) and move my primary games to the EVO or should I maintain load performance throughout with another EVO 850? Also, would a SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 2280 1TB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) be of any benifit for the $? ($347.50 Newegg)

Well..my main system is ~2TB, all SSD.
But that did not happen all at once. Drives were added as time went on.
