Pros
- BX500 is a good choice for this use case.
- A Crucial bx500 comes to mind, or a Kingston. These were having an okay price.
Cons
- The problems with the BX500 are that it uses QLC flash with low durability (instead of the better TLC), and that it has no DRAM cache (which is important with SATA drives).
- Internal SSD 240GB SSD Crucial BX500
- Right now I'm considering the Crucial BX500, but I'm wondering if there are better budget options around the same price.
- my Crucial bx500 (500gb) SATA SSD just slowed down to the point of struggling between doing a background task or opening file explorer.
