Samsung is good, adata, corsair, crucial.

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Samsung or Intel.

 

I would very highly recommend the samsung 850 evo SSDs.

 

Also, WD is the king of HDDS :P

In order. Price to performance

Crucial > Samsung > Intel. Most go towards Samsung. If you've got money to throw at your PC go Intel.

How is Sandisk/Mushkin/Kingston/OCZ/HyperX?

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

The Seasonic of SSDs? Intel. However, Samsung's options will do the same job at a lower price. 

 

The way I see it...

 

The Seasonic of SSDs: Intel

The Superflower (Seasonic level of quality, (usually) lower price) of SSDs: Samsung

 

EDIT:

As for the post above: 

 

SanDisk, not usually up there when it comes to speed but I'd feel confident in the reliability.

 

Mushkin, can't really say anything about them really... I wouldn't know. They're one of those companies that aren't all that big in the storage game (at least as far as I'm aware) and people don't really know what to think of them.

 

Kingston, Okay... Given the old v300 stuff I'm a bit weary of Kingston stuff that hasn't got the HyperX branding.

 

OCZ, now that Toshiba has taken over I'd feel confident in buying one. Not all that sure about the speeds they'll do so I can't really say anything there.

 

HyperX, not sure about their newer drives but speed wise, they're pretty decent. Reliability is also pretty decent. I wouldn't say they're up there with Intel and Samsung but I wouldn't say Kingston's HyperX drives are far off.

It has to be Intel for current best, followed close by by Samsung, then by Crucial. If you want Intel SSD performance for a low price, Samsung. Intel is to expensive but it is well worth if the money to buy one is available.

So for Intel/Samsung/Crucial, which ones are the best 60-240GB for price/performance?

 

Like, specifically which ones are the cheapest for speed/price to gb ratio, as in newegg or amazon ads/postings/whateveryoucallem's

But first, let's talk about parallel universes.

Technically Samsung has the fastest consumer SSD available: some NVMe M.2 SSD, but it's a rare thing.

Then Intel, with the 750 SSDs

Generally, higher capacities offer the best price/performance as well as price/GB.

 

Samsung's 850 Evo seems to be the best price/performance drive since they only cost a few dollars more than Crucial's Drives (Intel drives usually come at a more premium cost). It's a case of who's NAND you trust really because they're all using their own, though Micron sells their consumer products under "Crucial".

Intel's top line is basically always the best when it comes out, but they update their lineup so slowly that they often aren't even the top performance while always being the most expensive (of semi consumer available).

Crucial is the best bang for the buck most of the time. It offers basically just less than Samsung preformance but normally with price to match. Crucial is micron btw so you know they are baller at memory. They also update their lineups quite regularly.

Samsung offers near Intel performance and sometimes beats it due to Intel's long update pathways (see 730 series and the sm951). Its evo line has recently reached new levels of price to performance being one of the best ssds out there all around yet being available for basically bargain prices.

The pro line however is only marginally better while being notably more expensive.

Honestly I wouldn't even consider another brand at this moment because those three cover literally everything you could ask for.

Btw crucials customer support is amazeballs.
