Most are SATA, like this 2tb MX500 SSD for $177.59 at checkout 

 

 

This + a sata-to-usb 3.1 converter would be great for XSX backups of games you’re not playing.

For PC Gaming I recommend against SATA at this point due to NVME likely being a requirement in the not to distant future (obviously, for non-gaming storage, or for current-gen game storage, sata is still good-to-go).  In which case, this is a good deal:

For those interested,Fire Emblem: Three Houses [amazon.com] (Nintendo Switch Digital Code) $39.99 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild [amazon.com]...


I know people complain that Nintendo games don’t get discount digitally so here are two good deals on two great games.

I want to pick up Mario Wii U since its 40 bucks. 

 

That is a great price for the 2TB. I got it at Microcenter in Nov for like 230. I'd get another but then I'd need to reformat. It might be worth it to be 2 TB across 2 SSDs. My case only supports 2 SSDs unless I buy an adapter.

I would never buy another Crucial SSD, mine has been nothing but problems.


So buy one of the other ones on sale? And why haven’t you contacted their CS for warranty?

I'm good on storage atm, but my MX100 is long out of warranty. Every few weeks I will get a BSOD, the SSD literally stops communicating, so I have to take it out throw it on the floor and it works again for a few weeks or a month. Been doing this for about two years now. I'll replace it when I do a full rebuild later this year.


How old is it? My mx200 has been 100% good to go for awhile now.

Heh my SSD took a crap, my whole windows install is gone can't get it to boot it can't find it. Off to microcenter I go... But now to figure out how I'm going to get windows 10 back on the new drive don't have a physical copy.

Unless you REALLY need your PC back online ASAP, that drive at that price is worth waiting 3-4 days.

Microcenter has a 500GB M.2 970 EVO Plus 500GB for $89 so I'm going with that for now. I don't install many games at one time so this will do the job.

 

I saw some atleast at the MC near my house in the price range.

Your motherboard manual should tell you which PCI-E slots get disabled when you use an NVME drive, because they typically share the same PCI-E lanes of one (or more) of the slots and all of those lanes will go to the southbridge, which can only handle so much.
