What are the main differences between SSD. I look at brands such as Kingston which is 50 dollars cheaper and has the same space as a Samsung. The only numbers I see apart is 450mb read and write and 550 read and write. Is there any real differences between thoose two SSD's, or SSD's in general?

The Samsung, especially the new 850 series, are more reliable. By using 3D nand, you can get back size of shrinking cells.

 

The smaller a cell is, the less it can handle. The larger cells on the 3D nand can greatly increase the life of the drive.

The projects never end in my line of work.
