Hello all,
I recently purchased a Lenovo y730 that came with just 128gb m.2 drive and a 1tb hdd. I'm looking to upgrade the m.2 drive but I've been out of the loop on pc components for a while and not sure which one I should get? I don't do much with my laptop (youtube, net, emails and a small amount of gaming) so I do not need anything near the pro levels. I'm thinking about 512gb but realistically 256gb will probably be enough.
I glanced at Crucial's site to find they offer a P1 series 500gb for $89 but the speeds appear to be really slow at 1,900 MB/S READ, 950 MB/S WRITE
I have also been looking at the Samsung 970 evo for $130 at BestBuy but not sure if the speeds would be noticeable and worth the extra $40?
Thoughts, opinions, and/or recommendations? Should I keep looking for a better deal on a used one?
