What would be better ?
A samsung 970 evo 250gb M.2 NVMe
Or
A crucial 500 gb M.2 ?
Edit : The samsung is 5 euros more .
 
Solution
If this is only for the OS and some small programs the 250 is enough and does benchmark faster. However, if you plan on installing games onto it as well I would go for the 500GB as that will be able to a couple games, OS, and programs.

That crucial SSD will give you SATA 3 speeds (550 MBps Read and 550 MBps Write) compared to Samsung's NVMe speeds (3500 MBps Read and 2500 MBps Write). So it completely depends upon you whether you want more speed or more space.

Just a tip though, if you primarily use your PC for playing games or editing small videos, then choose 500gb Crucial SSD. If you are going to edit 8k videos then Samsung NVMe SSD is best suited for you. Both Samsung and Crucial are good brands and produce reliable SSDs.
