SSD?

[Jesmund]

Hey!

I'm planning of buying a 120 GB ssd.

I'm looking for speed and reliabilaty.

And i'm going to migrate my OS from a hdd to the ssd

Which ssd are good?

[michaeldeve]

i would go with a Samsung 840 (or 840 pro if you are willing to spend more money)

[virusal19]

Samsung 840/840 Pro and the Intel 520 Series are great options.

Almost 10% of the topics in the storage sub-forum are about SSD advice.

 

And in those topics the overall winner is the Samsung 840 series SSD :).

Samsung 840 haha

Well i got 840 pro awhile back. My pocket screamed for 1 month but the speed and the joy still last :D. Besides you get 5yr warranty on pro compared to the 3 on the normal so there is your reliable thingy. For speed the pro tops the normal. Thou all this comes if you are willing to pay more for it ofc :)

(my opinion is that if you are gonna blow money on a SSD, let'd be the best* one at least. :D)

Samsung data migration software :D

I do recommend making a clean install of the OS and transfering files though.

Yes, better off doing that, enabling AHCI in the bios when installing the new OS on it.

Install the OS on the ssd and then transfer your files through it?

 

That's what I did on my HDD.

Lol, don't. If that is the case, migrate your OS.
