New SSD recommendations

[jem.graham]

So following some unfortunate power outages, my SSD has died, so I need a new one. Does anyone have recommendations? Or SSDs to stay away from.

Also I'd like a 240gb SSD. My budget is anything at a sensible price, nothing too extravagant.

Thanks guys

I like the samsung drives. I'd go with a 250gb Evo.

Most people would recommend a Samsung drive, but I have multiple brands and haven't noticed a huge difference in performance or reliability as of yet.

If you don't care about brand then try this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RQA6TEI/?tag=pcp0f-21 It's basically the same amount as one of those listed by arron but it has an extra 10 gb for only 15p extra

 

EDIT: If you don't like Crucials that much then ignore this

You sir is the only one who recommend that crappy Kingston V300 SSDs. Don't. Check some benchmarks. Also not that Sandisk.

 

Crucial MX100 are way better affordable high speed SSDs.

i realised after that the v300 was the bad one, sorry mr know it all, the ssd plus is a decent ssd and actually crucial ssds are pretty shit.

 

you dont even have an ssd lel so dno how you can recommend one.

Just because I don't have one, I don't know anything about SSDs? You're wrong.

 

Sandisk SSD's write speed is pretty low when compared to other SSDs in that same range.
