It's been quite some time since I've shopped in the storage market and with an SSD recently giving up the ghost on me I'm looking around for a new one.
I'm a little bewildered by all the form factors and struggling to find a "tl;dr" on the differences (if it can even be summed up that simply)
I'm rocking a MSI-B350 "Gaming Pro Carbon" w/ a spare M.2 Slot - of which I'm wondered if this is where I should be focusing.
Primary use for the drive (as i'll be moving around my data after I buy whatever I decide on) would be a generic gaming drive perhaps a few apps here or there.
Ideal size: minimum 256GB. Sweet spot 512GB. Overkill but if there's a bargain (which I doubt) I'll consider 1TB
Form factor: I've no clue what's "the best" or most cost effective for gaming but I've got 1 spare SATA port, 1 M.2 slot and 1 PCI-E x16.
Budget: Ideally £120-225. Absolute top end £250ish give or take a few quid.
Any more questions to help you help me just fire away!
Thanks in advance.
