Hi All,

I have a 2-3 years Old computer and have a little budget for an upgrade.

As I have a 512 Go M.2 SSD, I was thinking about ugrading. But not sure what to do.

  • Buy a 2To Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink
  • Buy a SATA SSD I would use for storage and Keep my 512Go M.2 for my OS
  • Buy a 1To M.2 SSd and a SATA SSD

What’s the best Idea? Anything Else that would be worth upgrading:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3400Mhz MSI B450-A PRO MAX GeForce RTX 2080 16 GB of RAM Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB

I’m basicaly only playing Apex, other small games, and doing admin stuff. Thank you for your help

    Not all m.2 SSDs are created equal. I would look at what the fastest SSD your motherboard supports is and look at that for an upgrade.

      Looks like my Mobo supports only PCIe 3.0 x4, so the Samsung 990 would work, but I wouldn’t benefit of the perf.
