What's the go-to SSD these days?
I'm going to re-use my 4TB storage drive from my current computer, but I'm going to keep my old SSD in a box with my old MoBo/CPU in case I want to revamp those into a media machine or something later. Also means if I ever decide I want a Win7 machine I've got my old SSD/Mobo/CPU ready with no issues.
Going to run a Ryzen 1600X build with this X370 motherboard.
Should I get an M.2 drive? I've never used one of those but seems to be all the rage.
Last time I looked everyone was getting a Samsung 850 Pro - which is what my old 256gb drive was. I like it a lot. Tempted to take it out of the old machine and stick it in my laptop.
Anyway - looking for 500GB probably, but if there's a good deal on a larger one I'd consider it. Just not sure which ones are considered the "best" these days. I'll boot from the drive and put some important programs on it, but I do not intend to put games on it (games are secondary for me, I'm fine running those off a storage drive).
