How do you choose an affordable internal SSD?

You want to buy an affordable internal SSD, but what can you expect from an affordable SSD? How much storage space does an affordable model have or how fast does the drive read data, for example? We'll tell you what to expect from the different price ranges of an affordable SSD in this article.

Internal SSD up to € 100

With internal SSDs up to € 100, you can can mainly find SSDs with storage capacities between 250 and 500GB. The 2.5-inch SATA is most common in terms of size, but there are also M.2 SSDs available. Because most SSDs in this price range are 2.5-inch drives, the read and write speed of the drives is often around 500MB/s. The write speed of the M.2 SSDs is a bit higher, but they cost a bit more.

In this price range, you'll mainly find drives with 1TB storage capacity. In terms of size, you can find both 2.5-inch SATA and M.2 SSDs with the NVMe protocol. Almost all SSDs in this category are durable and suitable to write many terabytes. The memory type is mainly Triple Level Cell or Multi Level Cell. That's also why most of the drives in this price range are durable.

Internal SSDs of € 250 and more

WD SSD.

If you want an SSD from a higher price range, you'll come across high-end models. The average SSD from € 250 and up has at least a 2TB storage capacity, it's durable, and the write speed can often be categorized as extremely fast. Many more expensive drives surprisingly have a 2.5-inch SATA size, but they provide a lot of storage capacity. In addition, many more expensive drives have hardware encryption to prevent data theft.
