Planning to buy my first SSD for widows and 2-3 games (250-275gb SSD)

Which one of them is better?

Another question : Will playing games installed on SSD make it faster ? (talking about Loading the game not the FPS)

1. You can look up comparative reviews and see which excels in each test but the fact is, in blind testing users don't even notice when SSDs are added / removed from boxes. The reason is, for most users, while games are loading they are usually focused on other things putting in headphones, loading discord, grabbing a snack, opening game related web sites.

2. Of course if you are focused on loading times and stare at the screen, you will be to detect differences between a HD and SSD but not between SSDs or even SSHDs for that matter. You might find this helpful

In real world applications, you will not tell a difference between the two SSDs. Go for the cheaper one. But if it were me, I would go for a Samsung 850 EVO. They are priced competitively and have a good warranty. The 850 EVO is the best selling SSD in the world.

As for the gaming, there wont be a difference on the FPS, but pending on the game, load times maybe increased and you should limit any hitching. I run my games on SSD, but it is not necessary. You definitely want your boot drive to be the SSD.

i found crucial mx300 far and away the best price per GB out of all ssd's, i have a MX300 525GB and a samsung 850 evo 240GB and the crucial was something like around 60% more expensive for more than double the capacity. i am about to get another 525GB mx300 as games are getting much bigger now.

as for game performance, loading times are dramatically reduced when using ssd's and big open world games like arma do benefit fps wise from being stored on ssd's as they stream info such as textures from the drive during play.
