Which SSD?

Which SSD is better?  I wont spend more than $200.  Looking for a 240 gb SSD.

 

I like the way the Corsair Neutron looks, it will fit well in my Blu system

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Exclusive-Synchronous-2-5-Inch-CSSD-N256GB3-BK/dp/B00B2X312S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406463432&sr=8-2&keywords=Corsair+Neutron

 

I could buy the same SSD I had

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2-5-Inch-SH103S3-240G/dp/B007R67FTY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406463613&sr=8-2&keywords=kingston+hyperx+ssd

 

I also like the look of the Samsung looks

Would I see a significant performance increase with any of these SSD's?  I plan on playing BF4 mainly on it and moving the games I play the most to it.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

What? The Samsung and Kingston ones are the fastest at that price point.

@SeventyPointThree Go with the cheapest between these two I'd say

corsair and intel, offer the best things and make more reliable SSD's

What? Samsung is one of the best manufacturer, Intel and Corsair have a higher failure rate than Samsung. They are all pretty much the same tbh.

I would recommend the Samsung, Samsung's controller is fantastic and their reliability is fantastic.  

 

Samsung also has their magician software which allows you to optimize your computer for SSDs, but at the same time you can also use this thing called turbowrite I think its called, where you use some of your memory as cache for the drive I think and it makes the drive BLAZING fast!
