SSD Brand?

[ToeJullar]

Does SSD Brand really affect anything in an SSD.  I know the main differences in reliability and longevity as far as HDD with WD, Seagate, HGST, etc.  But for SolidState it's all vague to me.

 

I'm planning on upgrading my laptop 5400 rpm slow piece of Sh** drive with most likely a 120 GB SSD and an external 1 TB HardDrive.

 

On my desktop I bought a Kingston 240GB and have had no complaints.  So I may very well go with another kingston.  I just want to know if going with someone like Samsung, Intel, Sandisk, PNY, or Crucial are worth the added cost.

 

TL;DR
Does SSD Brand change anything?
Best SSD Brand In your Opinion

Depends on the controller

Pretty much anything is good, except Kingston V300's. They slow down drastically overtime.

I mean, all I really care about is being able to have a fast boot up and load times since I'll be using it in college.  Currently when I enter a class and turn on my laptop it takes up to 2 minutes to fully log in and get to work.
