Which SSD?

Any particular SSD that's better than the other or does it not matter? the two that I'm looking at are Crucial and Samsung (linked below) the Samsung is £60 more expensive, but looking at the read/write times, they are very similar. I'm looking at the 2TB versions.



Thanks

What do you have on that HDD? And why are you opting for an SSD? User data doesn't benefit from being on an SSD anywhere near as much as Windows and programs do.

A bigger HHD might be a more cost effective option. It depends what you store on there.

Literally 90% games, and 10% (but really depending on the amount of files) is 4k video editing.

I still have about 200gb free, but don't fancy deleting any games either. Most of the games that I'm downloading are over 100+GB Warzone, RDR2, PC2, Metro etc

SSD would be beneficial then.... I'd recommend the 860 Evo, bulletproof SSD both in performance and reliability
