Pros
- •Excellent brand and highly reputed for the quality of their products in SSDs and HDDs. If you have the budget, we highly recommend it!
- •This is an M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD. PCIe 3.0 will ensure good speed, but it is significantly lower than that of PCIe 4.0 or even 5.0. Specifically, your games and PC will launch faster than if you had an HDD, but it won't compete with 4.0 or 5.0. We recommend this for small budgets!
Cons
- •500 GB is, in our opinion, the strict minimum for gaming. As games are becoming heavier, we recommend at least 1000 GB, but if you have a low budget, you can start with this!
