So with black Friday coming, I'm hoping for deals that allow an upgrade (sidegrade) from my 2.5 inch SSD (850 Evo 500gb) to an m.2 SSD to get rid of some cables in my cramped rig (also getting rid of 1tb hdd for general storage). With about similar pricing would you do 500gb NVME or 1tb sata m.2?
Rig is used primarily for gaming and without mass storage I would be getting near capacity for 500gb. I'm not too sure I fully understand SSD technology but I'm under the notion that speed falls drastically when you're near max capacity for any type of SSD. Also I'm not sure how much the speed advantage of NVME matters for real life, but at the same time I would want this to be "future proof" (of course I'm using that with a grain of salt), so I wouldn't need another for a long time.
So what do you think?
