I bought WD SN850 1Tb as boot drive for my coming pc build
am thinking of adding another nvme 1tb as extra space for games installation and download/torrent drive should I go for a cheaper gen4 ssd, or gen3 ssd? or go big with another SN850  I passed on the SN850 2Tb because i rather have 2 separate drives |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jan 7 2021, 05:39 PM) Errr, best to go with high TBW SSDs like Transcend MTE220S and double-sided M.2 heatsink. SSD doesn't like too many writes from downloads and torrents. I see   what if not for downloads/torrents? just purely install games/software I have a WD 1Tb Blue HDD, might use that for downloads/torrents instead |

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jan 7 2021, 05:45 PM) For games in HDD, loading is slow and certain games will facing stuck issue, for example Shadow of Tomb Raider. u misread my sentence All this issue eliminate after change to SSD. Now I only use HDD for storing documents, song and movies only. I mean I would assign downloads/torrents job to the HDD, still want a recommendation for the secondary SSD as games/software drive  This post has been edited by General_Nic: Jan 7 2021, 05:47 PM |
