My 500 GB 840 is not big enough anymore, and I want something bigger. Right now, the Intel 660p 2TB is at about 990 PLN here (roughly $260) - it makes it cheapest nvme drive I can get- about $100 cheaper from MX500 2TB - and same price as 970 Evo Plus 1TB
Now, I use PC for gaming (and mostly single player games), text editing, bit of photo editing and that's all. I also hear about the cache being used with full SSD and the 660p going slower when copying large folders over 40GB (that I never do).
So, for my uses, will the speed drops be noticeable, when I don't know, installing a game, or doing some photo editing? Or should I not worry about, get that cheap drive and enjoy the wide open spaces?
