I personally would buy the 730, PCper said that the 850pro is tickling the 730 and even surpassing it in some areas but I trust Intel a lot more than I do Samsung.

Samsung 840 because Samsung.

 

Doesn't matter, just get the one that you can get cheapest. You are not going to notice the speed difference anyway, also there is not one of both wich is more reliable then the other.

Going off from what kingdorian, said I believe something similar. If you're the average consumer without super specific needs then they'll both be just fine. At this point the cheapest ones matter. If you're a crazy enthusiast, a professional, have enterprise needs, or have super specific needs than that's when it matters. Samsung is cheaper, has higher performance, huge approximated MTBF like Intel, and industry leading warranty; what more could you want.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.

I think they're both a bit much honestly. Samsung 840 evo has one of the best values in ssds, just sayin...

cheap shit

How about you buy 2 of them for the same price if you're concerned by reliability. Run them in Raid 1.

Neither, unless you're absolutely sure you need it.

 

Performance is close enough to not be a factor. Buy based on other elements like price, features (Intel has power loss and end-to-end data protection), etc.

 

My vote is for the Intel drive, purely for the data protection. It does come at a price, though; you have to decide if it's worth it.

 

An 840 Evo is a safe drive unless you need what the 850 Pro and 730 offer.

Or you can just go with MX100, which is faster or equal to EVO, has powerloss caps (just like 730), uses quality nand (crucial and intel share the same fab), has hardware encryption and usually costs way less than any of those drives.

The MX100 doesn't have the end-to-end data protection that Intel's drive does. That's not a feature that most people need, but it is an advantage of the Intel drive over the Crucial one. The MX100 also has worse performance consistency compared to the 840 Evo, 850 Pro or 730 (source, source, source)

 

That being said, the MX100 does look very compelling as a daily driver.

10 year warranty means shit, because you're never gonna have the drive that long.

Hah, noob. My Dad has gone 11.5 years on the same build (changed from Core 2 Duo to Q6600 right when it launched, but everything else remained the same) and is only now having his build replaced. If anyone can test that warranty it's my family.

Your parents are not exactly the target group for this SSDs. And the target group, that buys that kind of ssd is surly gonna replace it long before 10 year warranty expires. Its a plus, but nothing to shout about it. Its not like they are the only ones, that offer that kind of warranty (*cough* sandisk *cough*)

 

PS:

You're lying about the build age. Core2 was released 8 years ago, so it's not possible for build to be 11.5 years old.

Checkmate buddy.
