SSD choice poll

[BiscuitMassacre]

I have already made a similar post about this, but that was mainly debating which storage device to chose. But this time I want to choose which one to actually buy. This is going to replace my ARC 100 240GB on my desktop (gaming and browsing- no common large file transfers on the SSD) so I could put my ARC 100 in my laptop. Which 240GB SSD should I get in the $60 price range.

I just bought the PNY CS1311 over the weekend and I am very impressed with it.

I've had my crucial SSD for nearly 4 years now. It does what it says, it's fast. I personally like the little logo from crucial too  although, I imagine any of those should do fine.

Buy the mSATA version of the 850 Evo and get a mSATA to SATA adapter saves a ton of money

 

500GB version is 158 on amazon

 

250GB is 88 bucks 

 

same speed as 2.5" form factors 

 

Edit: Adapter

While the Samsung is going for $88 the others are going for $60, so I really understand your argument.

They are legendary for their failure rates and slow speed compared to the other similarly priced SSDs just search on Google V300 review and you will find out why

I have an SP550 120GB in my system and I'm very happy with it. I would have been happier if it came with a SATA cable to connect it... -___-

I don't think I am going to get it. It doesn't really compare to the the other devices. It is quite a bit slower for only a few bucks cheaper.

I think I will get the OCZ Trion 150. I like the the OCZ Trion 150 looks better, and the PNY CS1311 and OCZ Trion 150 are pretty much the same. The OCZ Trion 150 is faster for smaller transfers, but the PNY CS1311 is better for large transfers.
