Im having trouble picking which SSD i should get. I am looking for a 256gb SSD. Should i get the Kingston hyperx 3k, Samsung 840 series, Samsung 850 evo-series or Intel 530 series? what are the pros and cons?

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB

 

Crucial BX100 is my suggestion.

I have  an 840 evo, but I'd take the 850 evo since they seemed to have fixed some of the issues the 840 has (which I never experienced myself)

How does the Crucial BX100 compare to the samsung 850 evo?

You won't really see the difference in performance, but the BX100's warranty is a little shorter and less software is inclouded. But it's a few bucks cheaper, so I recommend it.

comparing a Samsung ssd to price is like comparing milk to a rock. if u look at the report arstechnica did they found 840 Pro's and 850 pros are the best for long life and being able to keep their performance at a good level.

they are all around the same price so it is irrelevant to me. i would like to know which one is the best, price aside.
