Both were of the opinion this drive is fine... great probably compared to say a 3.5 hard drive
I know people are probably sick of me bringing up the crucial MX500 drives over and over again here on slickdeals
https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX...11KBB&th=1
(or just search by the model number CT1000MX500SSD1 on amazon if that link doesn't work)
More expensive at $51 for a 1 TB drive but it has DRAM if this matters to you (I hesitate to say more since it set off an intense debate over whether or not you even need DRAM in the first place
If it was me building a PC for example I'd be tempted to grab the cruxial MX500 as the windows/boot drive and the team group CX2 to save files onto provided 1 TB is enough (depends on if you say save a lot of video files for example or other stuff that takes up a lot of room but it would be a good "starter" data hard drive in my humble opinion while we wait for prices to fall still further on a 2 TB, 4 TB and so forth SSD drives
Of course if your motherboard supports the m.2 format drives grab one of those instead for the windows drive they're also cheaper than normal right now too
The 3.5 mechanical drives are.. well not as good as the SSD's but falling in price too.. maybe grab one of those put it in say a sata enclosure and use that for backups of Windows and your files ... you'll see slickdeal alerts on the 3.5 drives too ... or if you're sure the size of your windows installation plus files will not go over 1 TB (seems kind of unlikely to me in the long run
