Which 256GB SSD?

[Nineshadow]

Really, there are tons of options out there, and they're all in pretty much the same price range.

 

From Samsung we have not only the 840 Evo...but also the 850 Evo! What's the difference(the price difference is $3 so...)? Does the 850 use 3D flash memory?

 

Then there's the Crucial MX100...and MX200.(which are slightly cheaper than the rest)

 

Then there's Kingston's HyperFuryX ! (only 240GB tho)

 

And last but not least...Adata Premier Pro SP900 and also the XPG one!(which are the cheapest??)

 

Soo...which is the best?

MX100 is mid , 850 evo is mid-highend. 

 

Kingston i don't know alot about . But it's probably mid too.

 

Rest are budget

 

i think 840 evo has performace degradation problems ( haven't noticesd anything on mine other than -100 in benchmarks , nothing changed in real world performance . Might be because i set it up for reliability not performance , have it since september i think )

It's fine, I chose the 850 EVO

From those, Samsung 850 EVO. Was thing to get it but I changed my mind and ordered PRO version.

I have two MX100s 512GB variant, in RAID 0. Great SSDs, I doubt you'd notice any difference in performance compared to what Samsung has to offer.  

 

In all seriousness though, get whichever is cheaper.

Personally, I would probably go for the 850 Evo/whatever is cheapest, but is there any reason why you cannot get the 850 Pro?

The Pro is way more expensive, like $75 more expensive.

The 256GB MX100 has a much lower write speed compared to the 512gb version, so I'd say skip that one. Go for the Crucial M550 or the 850evo, I personally went for the M550 recently as it was the best bang for the buck and you wouldn't notice a difference compared to the more expensive Samsung.
