Hi everyone, I am currently trying to get a SSD for my pc build and are torn between getting a Crucial MX500 or Kingston KC3000, it would be my main primary drive and since I don’t do any video editing, I have read that a SATA SSD is basically sufficient for my use. However, since the difference in the both ssd is around rm125, is it worth to get the M.2 instead of the SATA?

Same capacity?
The BX500 is a dramless SSD
The KC3000 is a PCIe Gen 4 SSD
The peformance difference of them is huge
Get the KC3000

Sorry a typo in my previous post, should be MX500 which is also a dram ssd.

the price gap is narrow. unless you have plans to free up pci-e channels for other purposes, it's a no-brainer.

also, it's better to use nvme vs sata, instead of m.2 vs sata, because m.2 has nvme and sata variants.

edit: transcend mte220s 2tb is 790myr at shopee now.

Yes just saw it, I’m looking at the 1tb capacity one and would the difference between gen3 and gen4 pcie be huge for normal usage? Without video rendering or editing etc.
