Hi guys,
I need your help choosing one upgrade for my laptop, it got Samsung 850 EVO M2 250GB SSD, I installed only three games and TADA storage is almost 10-11GB left.. so I decided I will upgrade it next month - storage wise - and I had some ideas and your opinions are so much appreciated, the options are.
1 - 2 of Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB - M.2 SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-N5E500BW) in RAID 0, the cons here is that I will have 1TB of fast storage, price is 340USD and I already have the 250GB so I know how the speed is and would expect double of it maybe? down side is that it's an older model.
2 - 2 of Samsung 950 PRO Series - 256GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V5P256BW)in RAID 0, cons is that it will be super speedy, new technology - so far I googled it for actual performance boost but mostly regarding booting time and some technical notes here and there, this technology is still on the rise, still getting firmware upgrades from Samsung, it will cost me 380USD for only 512GB, unlike option 1 of having 1TB like option 1.
3 - 1 of Samsung 950 PRO Series - 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V5P512BW)and avoid the RAID 0 fail risk - I can handle it ok, I have been doing it for round 7 years for servers since this is my job but you know when it happens, IT HAPPENS - It will be speedy more than single 950 256GB single drive, cheaper since it will cost 317USD only, and later in the future maybe add another one with cheaper price by this time? I dunno but it's a standing option.
4 - 1 of Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - M.2 SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-N5E250BW) and have it RAID 0 with my current one, cheapest option for 98$ but same pros as option 1 I guess, it's same model I have now and no need to sell my current one at this phase if I go to option 4.
I would love to hear your ideas maybe someone can add something I didn't think of, thank you in advance guys.
