    This thing is amazing; it may be a little pricey, but it saves a ton of time when downloading and installing large files (like games).

    This is the best SSD for your primary drive. 500GB is enough for storing data for many years.

    Win10 fresh install starts in under 6 sec. Coming from a 240gb SSD to this gum stick was the best thing I have ever done. Once my system is setup with all my apps and vpn and everything for every day use it still boots at 10 sec or less. My only CON was the price at the time of purchase. Prices are coming down so as they do this NVME drive is so worth it.

    I have used several different SATA based SSD's but this one smokes them all as far as speed. If you board supports this the NVMe tech this is the way to go.

    This stick works fine. It doesn’t go as fast than the other ones I have, but it’s best for storing and cache. Not meant for gaming.

    One of Samsung's best SSD, which speaks volumes

    One of the best and personal favorites of the PCI-E Gen 3 drives, the 970 EVO Plus doesn't disappoint. Fast and consistent reads/writes, and the Samsung Magician software that makes it easy to manage/benchmark/upgrade firmware. If you need a PCI-E Gen 3 drive, this and the WD SN750 are my two go-to drives and I have yet to have either model have a failure.
