    BX. Needs to be MX. Good find tho. Could possibly get away with building out an all SSD server with 8-10 of these for less than $1000.

    This is still a good drive and a good price, but unlike the MX500, this drive is DRAM-less, so it will slow down on big writes. Still faster than most any mechanical drive, and makes for a decent storage drive, but for the OS I'd still stick with the MX500 or Samsung 860. The MX500 is the best bargain drive around.

    The BX500 is a bit slower than the MX500, especially due to the fact the BX500 does not have a DRAM cache. The DRAM cache really helps with random read/writes, which is necessary for an OS. You're better off with an MX500, we use it in the company for our customers.

    I would recommend buying the MX500 which has similar performance to 860evo. My BX500 will be extremely slow when it gets to less free space. You can buy the MX500 for $87 at google express.

    In for this. I don't need memory and I already have a NVME for my main drive, as a secondary drive I don't mind the lack of DRAM. It was at 99% when I added to cart *phew*
