I have $100 to spend on an SSD. What is my best possible option with me desiring super fast boot and load times in games. I was looking at the AMD 240GB SSD,its slower, but more storage, but i saw its OCZ brand, and I've heard bad things. Although the AMD SSD has more storage, Its not necessarily what im looking for. I wont be storing much on it, only putting something like Star citizen/Arma 3 on it while keeping everything else on a 2TB HDD.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions on whats the best to get? or any really good deals currently going I missed?

Samsung 850 pro.

240gb version is $137. 120GB is $87 (for $10 more i get 8GB more and way faster).

What's the price of the 850 EVO in your area. Also, this is off topic, but what voltage are you running for your 5820K OC? That's a nice OC.

Yeah there seems to be no reason to get a 850 pro...

Nvme  Pcie seems to be trails faster and even cheaper. If you got small slot for it that is.

those prices I listed are of the 850 EVO.

 

and my voltage is at 1.3V. It can go to 4.8ghz and run a stress test and run games, but it crashes on a cinbench, so I stick with 4.7ghz. Im convinced I can go higher, possibly hit 4.8 stable or 4.9 stable, but I haven't put the time into doing it, actually, one reason is it takes so long to boot into windows off my HDD and run the tests over and over, a problem getting this SSD will solve. Love my 5820k, overclocks like a boss.

Damn you got a nice chip. I need motherf*cking 1.35v to get 4.4 GHz stable. Granted this is a very dirty overclock and I angrily set that voltage after I repeatedly crashed.
