Hello there guys. The time has come to get a new SSD about 500gigs for Windows and 1-2 heavy games that I play regularly, and I am really indecisive about what model and what form factor should I opt for. >>>>Longevity is my top priority<<<<
a)Models. The following models that I am considering are the following.
1) MX500=== PRO: cheap (90eur) CON: 180 TBW
2) 860EVO=== PRO: 300 TBW CON: the most expensive (125eur)
3) Kingston A1000 === PRO best performer, as many TBW as EVO, good price (110eur), future proofing maybe??? CON: 20 gigs less,
b)If i should go for SATA, is it better to go for 2.5" or M.2? Are there any disadvantages? If I go for M.2, and if i get an 2.5" Secondary drive behind the MoBo, I can get rid of the 3.5" HDD cage in my Mastercase PRO3 and get some more airflow from the front intake, but I worry about the reliability of M.2 sata SSDs
Help is always appreciated, thanks in advance
