I'm currently running an Asus Z270-K board with a 256GB Samsung 850 Pro for the operating system and basic programs and a 500 GB Samsung 850 Pro for the games. As games get larger I'm having to do more uninstalls to free up space on that 500 GB drive so was looking at installing a third drive, or replacing the 500 GB drive.
I'm currently planning to install a new M.2 1TB drive into the system and just install all future games on that drive and eventually have the 500 GB SATA drive serving as a backup drive for overflow.
If I do, would a cheap M.2 drive work for me? Anything I have to look out for? I've been reading a bunch of reviews and other threads but I'm honestly confused as heck on the M.2 drives. Some people say they're amazing and others say you'll never notice a difference. I was planning to pick up a Samsung 970 Pro but then read that the drive is probably savage overkill for most people and overpriced for most use.
