A topic that has nothing to do with you know what......
I recently bought an 860Evo2 2tb drive to go in my 2012 mac mini to replace the 1tb that's in there. After getting the drive I was thinking of getting another as the mini can take 2. Idea was a small SSD for OS/Apps as the boot drive and store all my itunes music on the big drive.
I notice the Crucial MX500 was about £50 less but when I initially bought the sammy the specs on amazon said it was a 6gbs write vs 560 for the mx. Don't know why I believed it at the time but turns out they are both in the upper 500s. One big difference is the durability rating. Sammy is double the Crucial. Is the 860evo worth the extra dosh? Just was thinking i could get a Crucial 2TB plus the 250GB as my boot drive for the same money. Opinions experience would be appreciated.
