I am considering to buy 120GB SSD in few weeks and Im looking at local shop where I found these 3 to be in in my price range. (cheaper better)

 

Silicon Power S60      SP120GBSS3S60S25    70$

 

Kingston V300            SV300S37A/120G         75$    (is this one that they changed inside and goes lot slower?)

 

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB  MZ-7TE120BW    90$

 

I added exact model numbers as I noticed that some manufacturers change something that affects performance and just change that other model number.

What are Your opinions? And please say why :)

Samsung 840 Evo. 

 

Either the Samsung on or the Crucial MX100

Can you say why not to go for silicon power? Is samsung that much better for price? 20$ is lot at where I live.

Also nobody sells crucial in my town or near and getting it would bring it price higher than some on list.

From personal experience from my build and my friend's builds go with either the Samsung 840 EVO or a Crucial MX100.

 

I have an 840 EVO and my friends Chris and Greg have the Crucial MX100.

Mostly because personal experience and brand recognition.

I've never heard of Silicon Power and never heard of that drive in general.

 

Looking at the specs of the SSD, it seem just as good as the Samsung SSD (both with ~500 MB read/write).

I would say look up some reviews.

I am looking at newegg reviews and it looks ok. I think that if I get an ssd I will get this one.

I would go for samsung but I plan on getting r9 270 and hyperx cloud and there is no lot of money space left for ssd.
