I'm pretty sure my current SSD (Patriot Blaze 60GB) is dying, so I'm planning on upgrading to a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. I've heard stories of it dying after 6 months or so, can any of you confirm that?

No, Samsung SSDs are totally fine :P

Yeah, a 60GB SSD from a company I've never heard of doesn't sound too good lol

It worked fine for a while, I got it because i was on a tight budget and wanted the speed. It wasn't very fun never having more than 10 GB free :P
