Any are good brands, personally I would go with Kingston.

Currently in all my devices I use Samsung, I have x2 840 Evos and 1 850 evo, I would highly recommend a bigger SSD size also, there ever so slightly faster and more room for your apps.

What does an Transformer get? Life insurance or car insurance? - Russell Howard - Standup (Made me giggle a bit)

V300. It's slow read/write speed comparable to a hard drive is astonishing, I love it when I spend more money on a drive that offers low capacity and no speed improvements

Not sure if this is the highest level of sarcasm that few men could reach or

The part about Kingston being good, probably. The V300 doesn't really have a good name around here. Everyone avoids it.

When I have see Kingstons running there fine, never had any customers complain about them, benched them before hand and they where fine, have they changed the controllers recently?
