Choosing between SSDs

I'm choosing between these SSDs right now:

Price: 70€ - 90€

Size: 240GB - 256GB

 

Kingston HyperX FURY 240GB 73,60€

SanDisk Z400s 256GB 76,90€

SanDisk Plus 240GB 79,99€

Intel SSD 530 240GB 82,79€

Crucial MX200 250GB 84,63€

Kingston HyperX Savage SSD 240GB 89,95€

(Note: there are more, but the rest are from brands, that I have never heard of)

 

A lot of my friends use this SSD, but it's expensive:

 

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 101,84€

 

Out of all these, which one is the best in price - performance/endurance/speed?

 The Crucial MX300 275GB and Samsung 750 EVO 250GB are both good options, but in general what you have right there are all very good ones.

The ones I mentioned should be well within your budget.

 

The way you can compare SSD  performance is by comparing their listed IOPS scores, higher being better. This is the speed of a drive, but generally the endurance is not much different between the drives.

From the top of my head, I know Crucial has rated their 725GB version of the MX300 as being able to handle 200TB of data written to it (before it would die? Or degrade? Either one).

MX300 has one [of] the best controllers and NAND package density for the price.

What about the Crucial BX100? It's 83,53€ for 250GB

It is 74,61€ (275GB) here, do you think it is worth or should I pick one from my original post?

I would recommend the MX300, it's a very recent and good SSD with great speeds (530MB/s and 510MB/s for read and write and 78.000 IOPS I think?)

The BX100 is a just a bit older SSD, not much performance difference, but you can get a cheaper SSD with more memory if you go for the MX300.

This is the best at the price point.

Please don't. It has a terrible controller.
