Hello friends,
Currently i am using internal 1TB seagate hd with asus mother board prime A320M-K
and i wanna upgrade to a ssd 128gb hd just for loading os and for faster booting..and i will be using the current seagate hd as storage device

i am looking for some budget solutions around 2k

should i go for

Consistent SSD 128GB (CTSSD128S6) ?​

or

Starlite SCUDA SATA 2.5 ?​


or go for off the budget and much bigger space

Western Digital WD Blue SN570 NVMe 500GB​

also i am not sure whether i can use this ssd as normal storage device .. if i buy another new ssd in future with same technology

any help will be appreciated.. thanks

2k for 128GB is too high. If you have a NVMe slot on your PC, get at least this Silicon Power SSD:
amazon.in/Silicon-Power-256GB-Gen3x4-SP256GBP34A60M28/dp/B07ZGJYLNL

128GB is pointless now, 256GB is the minimum you need to store OS + apps without worry. Get 512GB if you want more space.

SN570 is a good SSD, no doubt.
