Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade my extra HDD to a 1 TB SSD spending ~ $200.
My main drive is a Crucial MX100 (OS + programs), its performance is stellar for me. The HDD is an old Samsung Spinpoint F3 used to store my Steam game library, pictures and work files that are not-often accessed.
I've been out of the SSD news cycle since getting the MX100 but since I'm plenty happy with its performance and I don't want/need insane performance at a higher price (like M.2), would an OCZ Trion 500 get the job done? It seems to have similar specs to my MX100 despite being TLC (it's 3 years newer than my Crucial, of course) and that should be plenty faster than my HDD when loading games.
Any other options I should consider at the $200 mark? Should I keep waiting for potentially better 1TB 3D-VNAND @ $200 later this year? I've been waiting the whole 2016 and I'm getting tired of it...
