So my brand new drive looks like its suffered a controller failure. Neither my computer or any other computer will recognize the drive, Something got corrupted or something. So Transcend is junk... good to know. Now, is the Crucial MX300 275GB any good or should I be looking at something like the Samsung 850 EVO? $20 more for 25GB less storage, but it does have 12k reviews on amazon.

 

Lets not have a repeat of this thank you.

 

System its going into will be an i5 2500 with the ASUS P8H61 M LE/CSM B3 mATX board.

im not the SSD god or anything but the Kingston UV400 240GB SSD was to good of a deal for me to pass up, really cheap and 3 years of warrenty with decent read/wrights and IOPs

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

The H61 is SATA2 limited, so whether you buy the top end or not doesn't really matter.  Not that it matters a ton, but it'll top out in the 280-290 mb/sec range for sequential.  Random will be unaffected.

Yeah, I've come to the realization that perhaps trying to upgrade an old platform like this is probably a waste of time especially once you hit something like a GTX 1070. I've since then gone back to a 6100 mini-ITX build with possible PCI-E M.2 storage in the future.

 

But those are really expensive, so gonna get the 850 EVO and go from there.
