SSD?

sundodger5

Looking at adding an SSD to my new build (thanks for the help)
My board ( B250M-DS3H) has a M2 slot is this a good option to use.
If so what would you recommend around 100 euro?

For under €100? do you need the transfer speed for anything productive? Because a normal SSD would be what I'd recommend otherwise.

There are trade-offs with these:

€90 gets you a 128GB drive. Very fast but small enough that it will fill up quickly and you'll be annoyed sooner rather than later.

€100-ish gets you a 250GB drive, about the same read performance as the 250GB Samsung 850 EVO (probably the most recommended SSD in general) but much slower write speed.
The Samsung has a 5-year warranty vs WD's 3-year warranty and costs about €100 (just checking prices on Amazon.de), so I'd really only get the WD option if I was reeeeeeeeeeeally stuck for space and needed to use M.2.

Amazon.de's currently out of what I'd consider the best pick of the M.2s in that price-range and that's Samsung's 250GB 960 EVO @ €135. Over budget, but generally twice as fast as the 850 EVO if you have a use for that speed like audio/video/photo editing. Why wait a minute for files to load to RAM when you can wait 15-25 seconds, etc etc.
