Best 120GB SSD under $120

[HunterSailor]

Greeting everyone,

Recently my WD 1TB Green hard drive started giving me problems regarding windows boot and frequent blue screens.

So i decided it's high time i need to upgrade to SSD.

I want to use a 120GB SSD as a boot drive and the existing 1TB hard drive for mass storage. Since i don't know much about SSD at the moment, i would appreciate a little help on this topic.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3

Processor  - Intel 6600(Skylake)

 

I've heard Samsung evo is good and reliable at this price point. Is it?

Other options?

you can get a 480 GB SSD for that price, I have a 240 GB Adata SSD and I realy like it, I would actually go for at least a 240 so you can store your applications on it

this is waht I have and I really like it

I'm planning of going with the Kingston 120 GB SSD for my build. They are aren't expensive and I think they are best for a budget. Also good for you, for getting an SSD.

Also, It says ~$200: but it is almost always on sale for ~$50

If you have a budget of $120 then I think this will be best
