A good 1TB SSD for gaming?

This is a good one as well, the Samsung is better but this is more than fine.

Below $200 you are getting into lower quality drives.
 


from looking at newegg.com you will not be able to find a 1TB SSD under 200.00. the cheapest i found is the crucial MX500

this is what i found for SATA SSD drives. if your looking for an NVMe or m.2 type those will be more expensive.

this has always been the reason why people who buy SSD's stick to 250-500GB and use a big HDD along side it

1TB 960 Evo at the moment. Prior to that a striped pair of 256GB OCZ Vertex 4. For just gaming I wouldn't go back. When I have time for games I don't want to sit through 5-6 minute game loads.

Only my HTPC has spinning drives, but still has a Kingston savage as a boot drive. I've got my eye on some of those 2TB drives, but I'm hoping QLC really puts a dent in the market. I wouldn't mind replacing my spinning disks with a few 4TB drives. Could probably downsize to a much smaller case (Though I suppose I could get 2.5" hard drives, but I just don't trust them)
