Like i said my picks are crucials 500gb(good benchmarks an performer) or samsung 850 evo 256gb if i can get it at a good price?

Id say these are two great picks?what do you guys think.

I just came down to the point after reading a bit up that samsung and crucial are the two tops for the buck

Dude, for the sake of $25 get the much larger Crucial. You won't notice the speed difference in day to day usage and you get double the storage

Was on their one day special for today, it'll probably revert back to the old price again when they get stock, they only had 80 and was sold out by 12pm, I got one of them

BX100, I'm using one right now (250GB variant). Have tried also Samsung and Intel SSDs, I don't see any difference in terms of daily normal use including gaming. If you're storing confidential or any important data to it, then pick SSDs w/ better features. No regrets on my purchase with this one.

hmmm

 

a few reviews do mention that in real life test you would never notice the difference between crucial and samsung drives as they both are incredibly fast ..Plus as ill be using it in my home desktop pc i dont think its worth going half the size 

 

5 year warranty though seems so nice to have compared to 3years then again,i wont be using 76tb anytime soon!

Is 2 more years warranty worth 250GB storage? I wouldn't think so at all

Going crucial bx100 500gb

As its going in my home pc for gaming ect

Reason not samsung..pricey in South Africa,dont need all the extra features it offers ..

After everyones help here and watching reviews it simply does not make sense to go half the size for the same price range.

Real world speeds will be the same as well..boot times are 1sec apart?i can live with that

Thanks all for helping me decide

Hi all

From South Africa,so keep in mind our prices differ far from the US and EU

Oky so moving to SSD soon but so many to pick from..

What i did come down to are the following in my price range(the Samsung 850's are expensive here)

So these are the ones i could see would be good choices but hopefully you guys can assist me.

Crucial BX100

Trancend ss370

OCZ Arc 100

Kingston sv300

Sandisk ultra II

These all fall in my budget range(In our currency it's R1500=$130)

Note i will be going for the 256gb version,so which is the better choice here?

Thanks

 

I'd put it between the ARC and the BX personally.
