Kingston KC600 vs Samsung 860 EVO

[darex69]

So I wanted to buy Kingston KC600 256GB for around 45$, but I found Samsung 860 EVO 500GB for around 70$. I have 1TB HDD already so this will be for windows and some games.

 

Is the Samsung SSD worth it?

I think they are the same TLC technology, warranty, and performance. I wouldn't get less than 500GB. Games are getting huge.

Yeah, I'm getting the Samsung one, I probably wont upgrade for a few years so this should be enough.

The only crucial SSD is MX500 1TB and its 150$. Everything is overpriced in my country unfortunately.

That's sad. Still Samsung is one of the best if not the best SSD manufacturer. You won't regret getting them.

The KC600 is an excellent SATA SSD.
