What's a relatively decent M.2 NVME for storage?

What's a relatively decent M.2 NVME for storage?

Samsung drives, when it doesn't have issues, can last quite a long time even in rough environments, but with the firmware widespread bugs, I probably won't recommend it atm.

I would get sn850x as of now, or maybe p5/p5p depending on price, yea.

Other brand drives are mostly rebranded OEMs. I generally don't find them reliable, especially when used as an OS drive. At most, I will use it as storage for unimportant data, they are mostly cheap af anyway so idgaf also.

YMMV.

What's a relatively decent M.2 NVME for storage?

Main drive: SN850X like most ppl say
Additional storage/game drive: Probably a large P3/P3 Plus

Samsung SSD example Samsung 980 (Non pro) 1TB around $11X.
*Price is from SLS, Challenger may sell the same price so have to check.

 

[InvincibleTofu]

Thanks will take a look at P3/P5 for storage. WD for OS/Games
