Post Body

I'm planning my new build and as NVMe drives are not that much more expensive than SATA ones I figured I'd get a cheap one as a system drive, despite knowing the advantages will be marginal.

The WD Blue seems to be the most recommended budget NVMe, then I noticed the recently announced Mushkin Helix which doesn't have many reviews so far.

Not much knowledge on drives so help me out here. On paper the Helix has better read and write speeds while the SN500 has higher IOPS. So which is the better option.

Does it even matter? Are there any alternatives at that price point which beat both?
