Hello I have a 512 Gb Samsung 850 evo that I could sell for around 150. I went and saw a deal for a 1 tb Crucial ssd for 263 dollars which is a fantastic deal. Do you think it would be worth it? I love how fast everything boots up with my computer and how snappy and fast programs load, I just am not sure if a crucial ssd will match me the same type of performance

Your evo has a longer warranty and I believe has better performance, not sure if the difference is noticeable. Get both! ;)

I feel your pain. Almost to the point where I am willing to buy a few 480-500GBs for general storage. Started buying 120-240GBs for boot drives and I can't go back.

;P mehhhhh I'd love to, I am just gahh I can't believe how much cheaper ssds are getting

Resist the temptation. I know how it hurts. You're kicking yourself in the head for spending twice as much on an SSD a year ago, right?

Come here, friend *comfort-hugs*

*hugs back* Thank you :/ maybe I should wait a year and it'll be even cheaper. I got the 850 evo for 170 a few months ago and now its 150$ it makes no sense how fast its happening

I started using 500 for games and I can't believe like the boot time of windows and games is amazing compared to a hard drive. It just sucks that I have to keep deleting games because I can't hold them

This is true, hey how did you get your build as your signature?

I just added a spoiler from the Special BBCode option then typed it in manually. I added the bold and everything as well.
