Go for SSD.

SSD

if you can afford the extra $13, I suggest going for a samsung 850 evo. having dealt with their support for a broken drive (I mean parts physically broken at no fault of the drive) it's pretty great, and the performance is top notch http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450464670&sr=1-2&keywords=850+evo

wtf why does it say 6mbps

is that a joke??

[royalcrown]

Probably a typo, and they meant 6 Megabits interface speed I'm guessing.

i have a question

is this SSD for the desktop or laptop?

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

actually no

the adata has a faster read speed

sequential isn't the important metric, but suit yourself

[aguycalledJames]

actually no

the adata has a faster read speed

It is within the margin of error for Sequential Read speed, and has slightly faster write speeds

However, the 850 evo has a faster 4K Read speed, meaning it can read smaller files quicker, meannig faster start-ups + overall usage

SSD's for laptops and desktops are the same, My wife's laptop has a regular drive bay and so it is the same. The other kind of laptop slot is m.2, this is usually in thinner ones as opposed to gaming laptops that are fatter. Those kind are just the bare circuit board without the nice plastic case. they are also more rectangular like gum. the kind you need depends on what they feel like.
