Which SSD should I pick?

name1

I know both these SSDs are terrible compared to the more expensive ones, but out of these 2 which would you suggest? Because I just need a cheap SSD for my computer to boot off of.

I'm pretty sure Kingston is a bigger company than KingDian but do you think the extra cost of the Kingston is worth it?

 

I just need like 60GB not more to be honest; it should be more than enough for booting off of.

Thanks!

I would go Kingston. I have that SSD in my server actually, its been fine.

 

Also, why just a boot drive? I would try and get a 256 since they don't cost much more, and the gives you room to put programs on as well. A 128 is basically the minimum I would ever recommend these days....

neither of these have dram caches so I wouldn't recommend either

Both are garbage, if you're on an extremely tight budget at least go with the Crucial BX500 since it's the best perfoming/reliable dramless SSD you can buy.
