The Samsung 850 on Amazon is the best deal you can currently get in the UK for a 250GB SSD. Don't even think about it, get it. On this price point there is nothing that can compete with it.

 

EVO/ EVO pro

MX/BX100

Intel 530

You haven't checked prices for a long time it seems, cause the Intel 530 is a overpriced piece of nonsense.

 

MX 200, none of the samsung or intel ssd's (in this price range).

The 850 Evo is currently cheaper. I can see no reason to buy a MX200.

So the price of the Samsung one is pretty hard to beat, but is it actually a good ssd?? Ive never gotten one before and know nothing about what makes an ssd good, so if someone could tell me thatd be great.

I bought the 850 EVO, like, 2 weeks ago and I think it's a beast. From what I've red and seen the 850 Evo series dominates the SSD market.
