I've just bought a new system to upgrade my ancient Q6600-based PC. I was intending to use current storage (old crucial sata SSD boot drive, mixture of sata and ide bulk storage) for the time being and grab an M.2 later in the year but with Nand prices looking like they might rise i figure it might make sense to get it now. I'm looking at 1TB drives, but wondered if there's a real difference between drives like the Rocket Q/WD Blue/Crucial P1/Intel 660/Adata SX6000 and the more expensive drives like the Rocket/Black/MP510/SX8200 etc? As a comparison a Rocket Q is £100 vs a Rocket at £120, with the rest being more in either bracket.

Bob Morales posted:The biggest difference is drives like the WD Blue are m.2 interface but are actually SATA drives Ah sorry, i meant the Blue SN550, the nvme one. I think the rest are all nvme. Thanks for the SX6000 link, although those are more expensive than the full featured Rocket.

I'm happy to pay the extra £20 as long as there's an actual, noticeable benefit, but if an SN550 or whatever is so fast already that i won't be able to notice the difference then i'm happy with the cheaper option.

I'm still running an MSI P965 Platinum with Windows 10 on it and it's fine given how old it is.
