Crucial MX500 1TB SATA SSD
Crucial MX500 1TB SATA SSD is a 1TB drive that reads at up to 560MB/s. In daily use this is what decides how fast Windows boots and how quickly a game world loads. It uses the older SATA connection, so treat it as a library drive rather than the main one.

SSD and storage guide
How to choose PC storage
Use an NVMe SSD as the main drive when the board supports it. Size it for Windows, applications and the games you keep installed, then add cheaper secondary storage only when you need the space.
