SSD Confusion

[WillBlake]

So I've been wondering, what is the difference between a SanDisk SSD and a Samsung 850 evo SSD (lets say both are at 250 GB capacity). All I've noticed so far is that Samsung SSDs are way more expensive that Sandisk's (250GB Samsung sells for USD$85, while I found a 250GB SanDisk that sells for USD$11-ish). Which one is better for gaming purposes and other read/write intensive softwares like audio creation programs? Thx!

Probably because the 850 EVO has more write/read speeds.

The 850 EVO is likely slightly faster with more write cycles. For gaming, pretty much any SSD will do (other than a V300), so I'd go for the cheaper one.
