120 GB SSD

[zehao39]

Hi 

I am planning buying a 120 GB SSD as my system drive. I want it be as cheap as possible. Do you guys have any suggestion?

850 Evo.

 

FYI, the lowest cost per gigabyte for SATA SSDs is currently hanging around the 500gb mark. If you can save up for another month or so, it is worth it.

 

5 year warranty too.

also the price difference between a 250 and a 120 is like, $10.

What do you mean?

SK hynix sl308 is pretty good, performance is slightly less than an 850 evo but much cheaper.

If you want an SSD and are short of funds, don't get an SSD. Put up with using an HDD, save up, then go for a quality SSD.

 

Cheap SSDs will be slow, and will die sooner.

 

It's like saying "I want a super yacht! But I want the budget version."

Depends on the brand and the model,some cheap SSD's are like 850's just not the speed but have the quality (little less)

Say that again when you lose your data.

 

Most companies cannot match Samsung's 5 and 10 year warranty on the 850 Evo and Pro, respectively.

 

Samsung is also one of the few companies who build almost everything (SSD wise) in-house. They get tighter control over every part of the production process.

 

Companies who outsource simply cannot compete.

My friend has a cheap SSD for over 4 years and his data is intact,all cheap SSD's offer 3 years of warranty but you can extend that with shop warranty on the item

Great! So you have a grand sample size of 1! That means all SSDs with a 3 year warranty will last 4+ years!

 

Right?
