SSD Upgrade - Laptop

[Hiaouge]

1st Post whoop!!

 

I want to upgrade my laptop from a hard disk to a SSD but was wondering what is the fastest currently available SSD. I currently have a 500gb hard drive, I am not looking for massive storage in the SSD as most of my storage is networked.

 

Cheers

Most high end SSD right now preform the same, but for reliability, go for a Samsung 840

What's your price and what's the minimum storage you want.

Samsung 840 Pro is the fastest SDD. So a 256Gb would suit you.

Get a Samsung 840 EVO. Very, very fast and good value for money.

get what every brand you trust and get the most capacity that is available for your budget.

 

i just got a kingston 120GB SSD (cant remember the model) but it was less than $100

 

and im super happy with it.

Thanks, looking at the response a Samsung 840 seems the ideal option a 256gb would be good i think. I don't know anything much about SSD's is there any advantage from the Pro, normal and Evo version apart from the higher cost (is it worth it)??

They all perform noticeably the same along with most modern ssds. Basically, get the cheapest one you can find that's decent and it's will feel the same as a more expensive ssd

 

Fyi, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them..

Samsung did a great job, I would really recommend their 840 SSD's

The corsair ones are good too;

The 840 Pro has slightly better write performance and better overall endurance than the 840/840 Evo, but it's not really a concern unless you see yourself doing massive writes every day.

I agree, Samsung 840. I have the EVO 120GB. Runs great!
