Hi.
I currently have an m.2 480gb ssd,1,5tb hdd and some smaller hdd`s.
My ssd is getting full and I want to set up something more permanent.

Should I do one 1tb ssd or two 500gb ssd`s?
Or maybe one smaller ssd for os and one 1tb for games and media and such?
I`d like to see what anybody elas have to say about the subject.
Money isnt a big issue as I plan to keep this setup for some time.

Thanks in advance.

That is actually wrong.
While a larger SSD does run just a teeny bit faster, it's not anything you'd really notice.

Multiple drives is a very, very common config.
1 drive for OS and applications, another drive for games, a 3rd drive for other stuff.

My system has 5 x SSD, each for (mostly) a different purpose.

Since we have no idea what the OP uses his system for, specific...

Since money isn't an issue I'd say go to a large SSD so you can get a little higher speeds, but personally I use a hardrive for holding all of my games, and an SSD for my OS and such. I wouldn't buy two SSDs though because * gets fragmented and then things don't work as quickly because you have two smaller SSDs, so just buy one big one.
