New C Drive SSD Recommendations
Hey guys, my computer is 5 years old and still works like the first day I brought it,
However back then the best storage available was 128GB SSD with a 1TB external.
I want to change the 128GB out for something larger (preferably 1TB), any recommendations?

Depending on the age of the mobo....the M.2 slot will share a PCIe lane and therefore be limited to the controller of said lane. The bus speed will be set as such. It will also take up 2 SATA ports when using a M.2. If that is the case then you would be better off going with a standard 2.5" SSD.
I would suggest Samsung or WD. A 500 gb or a 1 TB depending on your needs. If a gamer with a lot of games the opt for the larger drive size.
Additionally to what @bassfisher6522 and @FiszPL mentioned, in case of issues or confusion sticking in a SATA or NVME on the computer mobo you can also get an external SSD from Seagate or Samsung.
I personally have used both the external SSD's from Seagate and Samsung, exceptional performance and support and long term usability.

bassfisher6522That's a good workaround to use the HDD/SDD dock, i haven't used one yet though i know about it. I'll definitely check it out when i do a revamp for my setup. Thanks:smile_: I have the Seagate Barracuda Fast SSD on my seconday sleeper machine and the Samsung T5 SSD on the PS4 (attached pics).

bassfisher6522I'll run a test and post it for you.
What's the read/write speeds on those?
