Hello,

          So my Seagate Drive just died after 28000 hours and 18 windows reinstalls, and I was looking to replace it with a SSD, preferaby 240 GB. My budget is $70 and I'm looking for something fast and reliable. I saw that the 850 evo from Samsung is at $90 and that's a little much. Is there any good 240 GB SSD out there like the 850 evo? 

 Thank you 

 

Adata has some decent ones https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADATA-Premier-Inches-Superior-ASP550SS3-240GM-C/dp/B013J7Q338/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466352195&sr=8-1&keywords=240gb+adata

at that price point they all are very similar

I'm just giving you options

get whichever is cheaper, has a better warranty or a brand you trust
