Posted April 4, 2016 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.

Which 240GB SSD should I get in the $60 price range. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 23 hours ago, devenson2017 said: I just bought the PNY CS1311 over the weekend and I am very impressed with it. 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.
