Help me choose which SSD

[Twister]

Toshiba OCZ TL100 120gb

Kingston HyperX Fury 120gb

AMD Radeon R3 120gb

WD Green 120gb

SanDisk Plus 120gb

Adata Ultimate 128gb

 

Please help me choose which one is best, I have tried searching but every review says different so I don't know where to put my trust.

Adata Ultimate (model?) or HyperX Fury

 

But IMHO if you can get a little more get yourself a Samsung SSD or a SK Hynix drive

It honestly won't make much of a difference no matter which you choose, so I'd get the cheapest one. 

[Twister]

Cheapest is AMD Radeon R3. 

 

This is my budget, unfortunely. 

 

Adata Ultimate SU800.

 

Havn't Kingston changed nand before?

as far as I recall, they changed controller

 

as for getting a SSD from those .. I would not

I'd gather more money and get a 256GB MX300, not necessarily a 850EVO, but something that's known not to suck

[Twister]

So Adata Ultimate su800, HyperX Fury, AMD R3 and WD Green suck?

Cheap TLC SSDs are fine. Sure their sequential read/writes are lower, but reads aren't usually much lower and most people aren't writing to/from a faster drive anyway (frequently enough to matter).

 

The big advantage of an SSD for 98% of people is the latency, which is still very low.

No.

[ciprian97pop]

whichever one is the cheapest.

you don't have a big budget and the speed differences between those drives is at max 20-30 mb/s, a difference which you won't notice

cheap TLC SSDs are shit, and I'm referring to speeds - most of them suffer from cell voltage drift and other "issues" due to cheap controlles

no.

WD Green sucks ass

AMD's SSD are utter disgrace - one of the PCPer reviews showed some utterly bizarre behaviour: https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Storage/Samsung-750-EVO-Full-Capacity-Roundup-Planar-Performance/Performance-Comparisons-TRI

That's R7 though.

and what you want to buy is an R3, the lesser version 

[Twister]

Is the WD Green much more energy saving efficient then the AMD R3?

no. SSDs consume such an irrelevant amount of power.

I'd go for the Kinsgton, Adata, or SanDisk, as they are all known to make dependable storage devices.
