Best $65 SSD

[Guest]

I'm getting really close to buying a SP900, but before I do I wanted to know if there are any other better SSDs for just a little more/ in the same price range.

Crucial MX100 maybe.

Crucial MX100 maybe.

It looks like its write speed is like 5x slower than the sp900

Look up some benchmarks tbh. The read/write speeds on paper tend to have very little real-world value/meaning.

What are things I should look at while comparing SSDs?

 

EDIT: If http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Crucial-MX100-128GB-vs-Adata-Premier-Pro-SP900-128GB/2618vs1930is anything to go by the MX100 looks much better

So what should I go for Mx100 or SP900? I don't know if ssd.userbenchmark.com is reliable.

If you are not constantly transferring files between ssds I would go with MX100.... Most programs rely on reads rather then writes (besides video editing and other specialized workloads). Games will load faster with higher reads, writes do not effect them. You also do not have enough network bandwidth to bottleneck downloads because very few people have 10gbps from their isp's.

MX100 it is. Thanks.
