Hi, 

SAMSUNG 860 EVO VS KINGSTON A400

  • What is the main difference between these two?
  • Which one is worth for gaming? (mainly for the RUST)
  • Is 860 EVO worth the extra money? (860 EVO is 5000 rupees expensive than the Kingston one)

Fast versus slow. Premium versus basic.

 

Neither, I usually aim for mid-high end ones like the Crucial MX500 or Adata SU800

 

No, just like how the A400 is not for people with enough budget to think about the 860 Evo.

Kingston A400 is a DRAMless budget SSD, but a relatively good one. Good if you're on a tight budget.

 

If you want something faster, there are usually going to be cheaper options than the 860 Evo. You didn't specify what capacity you're looking at, but the Crucial MX500 looks good at both 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB.

then the samsung drive then. As far as I'm concerned these are the best SATA TLC drives. Worse ones should only be used when it's between "have an SSD" or "no SSD"

Thanks, but that's brand a little hard to find in our local shops. :(
