SSD question

TheMidnightNarwhal · June 30, 2016

So I see so much difference in SSD for the same size but prices are so different. I suppose it's the speed? But it's still a SSD, it's pretty fast. And some companies have so different SSD models. Like Corsair, Samsung or Crucial?

So it's all bout the speed? But any SSD will be fast enough though, right?

Linus has done a few videos on SSDs over at Techquickie. Different types of flash have different life expectancies. Watch the tlc vs slc video for information about that in particular. The SATA III interface will limit to around 550MBs so for the most part it's difficult to go wrong with a quality brand on that interface as it's been fully saturated in sequential speeds by many brands for a while now. IOPS is another comparing factor and he probably has a techquickie on that too.
