How about getting the 840 EVO or the 850 PRO?

If I had to choose in between the Kingston and the MX100, I'd go with the MX100.

The MX100 25GB is good in general, And SUPER cheap.

how fast your pc starts ?

how fast your pc starts ?

its an ssd, they all start your pc fast, unless is a really crappy one and even then i'll start your pc fast

looked for newegg reviews the 3 first page 5/10 users says dead after a shor period of time damn lol i dont want to buy this kingston

[hojnikb]

Just get mx100 and call it a day. Best value around.

well yes but, i dont bothr paying more for something more reliable than paying 100 € for this one

I personally think it's a shame to buy a 120/128 GB SSD at this point. 250/256 is reasonably cheap and you get much faster writes in most cases since the controller has trouble averaging out writes for longer life expectancy on small drives.

 

For good price/performance*reliability I would recommend AData SP900 256GB or Samsung 840 Evo 250GB.

Just make sure that if you're buying this "for gaming" you understand that while an SSD might speed up loading times in games, you're going to be disappointed if you're expecting a performance (framerate) difference within the game.

 

The most dramatic benefit will be to general system responsiveness, and its worth it for that. Definitely plan on installing Windows to your SSD.

i will install windows on it and run a game on it, my doubts are, i  dont bother give like 100 € for a disk that has less space but that as much more performance than this mx100, i want to know the best disk for this price range

[hojnikb]

What exactly makes mx100 less reliable than something else in that price bracket ??

[alvez]

the reading speed, only 300 mbs when there are others with less storage but with more speed.. im not saying that it isnt a good disk but well as ive said i dont bother pay more for less storage but good specs.

and other suggestions are apreciated mate and thanks for helping!

 

i dont care about the brands i just want a good disk!

Where the hell did you get that. MX100 pulls 550MB/s read on all capacities and has pretty good write speeds aswell (depends on capacity though, just like with every other ssd).

MX100 is the only thing worth buying right now, because you get the best bang for the buck. You can get marginally  faster ssds, but you'll quicly end up paying 50% or more. Or you can save a few $$ and lose lots of speed.

loose lots of speed ?

[hojnikb]

loose lots of speed ?

yep.

If you go kingston route, which use crappy async nand, read speeds drop to as low as 200MB/s...

dude i dont understand shit about this that why i do make many questions..i just need a good disk thats it...ive understood that kingstonnisnt good, everyone seems to recomend the mx100..can you answer me this, if i buy a samsung 850 pro 120 gb will it give me a better performance overal?

Bear in mind that upgrading from a mechanical hard drive to any SSD is a huge jump in performance. Once you've got an SSD, the differences in performance between individual models are just icing on the cake and you often won't even notice a major difference unless you're benchmarking them yourself.

 

Add to that the fact that for the current prices of an 850 Pro, you can get an MX100 twice as large. Capacity is a lot more important, in my opinion, because chances are you aren't going to sit around lamenting that your MX100 isn't as fast as an 850 Pro. You may wish you could fit more games on it, though.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about lifespan, either, because by the time the 3-year warranty is expired we're likely going to be looking at relatively affordable 1-2 TB replacements.

I will mainly use the SSD to: run windows and some normal programs + 2 games that together are like 15 gb, and i will use the old disk as storage for my documents and stuff like that, considering this fact what you think ?

Just grab mx100 and call it a day. Faster ssds won't benefit you at all, so you might aswell get the best price/gb..

Honestly, regardless how you plan to use it I think the MX100 is a great choice. Here's a link to the review of it on Anandtech if you're interested to see their conclusions on it.

 

The 256 GB version is barely over $100 on Newegg, that's a fantastic deal and leaves you well over 150 GB after Windows + your two games. You could make due with a 128 GB one for $72, but as I have one myself I know how restrictive it can be. For $40 more, doubling the capacity is worth it.

[hojnikb]

Exactly ^^

There really is no reason to go for 128GB, unless you're really cash strapped.
