I have been looking for a good ssd to boot windows off for around 75 Canadian dollars and have narrowed it down to two, the adata xpg sx6000 256gb or the crucial mx500 250gb.

The adata seems to preform better than the crucial and i like the m.2 form factor but im not sure if i should get the crucial for better reliability.

OK, that will take either an NVMe drive OR a SATA drive.

Personally, that ADATA is a poor performer in the NVMe world. Significantly slower than other NVMe drives like a WD Black or Samsung 970.

If I were going for an NVMe drive, I'd go wit teh 970 EVO.

Yes, it is more money, but better performance.

Otherwise, a SATA based drive like the MX 500 or Samsung 860 EVO. Both of which can also be had in the m.2 package.
