I'm thinking about getting a 2 TB SSD to use as a games drive. I'd keep my OS/programs seperate on my small 850 EVO and just dedicate my big spinner drive to backups/media and Shadowplay recordings and other dumb poo poo that doesn't matter. I'm between the MX500 or the 860 EVO, they're basically close to same performance wise, but does one or the other have a better endurance lifespan rating since this is gonna be a big purchase and having it (potentially) last longer is more important than a few more MB/s in a benchmark that I'd never notice. edit: I mean I know it's probably unlikely I'd ever get close to either drives TBW rating, so maybe I should just go for the Sammy? owls or something fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Oct 23, 2018 |

BIG HEADLINE posted:If it's just a games drive, there's no reason to overspend on Samsung - get an MX500 or one of those Micron 1100s (which are old rebranded MX300s for the business market). I forgot about that Micron 1100. Don't give me more choices! Where is a good place to buy the 1100 that isn't 3rd party sellers on Amazon or Ebay?

Eh, the 1100 is around $290... I think the extra ~$50 or so for the MX500 is worth it since it has 5 year warranty instead of 3 years and I don't need to deal with 3rd party sellers. Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you sir!

refleks posted:Does the same hold for lower sized? I just need it for games. I use the 1 TB as my games drive... it's fine. If the drive is close to full it will supposedly start slowing down because it runs out of fast buffer cache. But even if it did slow down it would still be faster than needed for loading games.

Yep, you can get the Micron 1100 2GB for about $200 on the regular. Amazon has them new, in stock and sold by Amazon. I think it's really worth the extra $20 for a MX500, though or this:
