My First SSD

Skybound · October 11, 2016

Hey guys I'm looking to buy my first ssd and was wondering which would be a better deal. My budget would be about $110 for it and was looking at two specifically. The Corsair Force LE 2.5" 240GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F240GBLEB , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-233-950

And the SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E250B/AM , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-147-372

The Corsair one is more budget oriented but the Samsung has a much better warranty I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to reads and writes speeds but I plan on using this ssd to put my OS and my most used programs on it. Thanks.

Id get something like this, https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX300-525GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B01IAGSD68?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-ffab-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01IAGSD68

10 dollars more and 2x the size. Back up your drive. You won't notice the performance difference.

Thx, ill look into it. What do you think of Western Digital new SSD lineups that got recently released? Based on their specs they look to be on the same level of performance as the Evo but for much cheaper. Looking at the Blue version specifically.
