which ssd to buy

[Spoonzio]

hi so there is one guy on my local forum selling ssd, think they're oem the ssd are: samsung 850 evo(850), 840 evo(800), Samsung PM871(750), Intel Pro 2500(750), lite-on 256m6s(750)

they all 250/240gb ssd, at different price(number in brackets are the price in south African rand), now my question is, Which one should i get, should i just get the cheapest one?

Ok  don't get the lite on, because the speeds are terrible, check of the Samsung pm series is M. 2 instead of sata, as you may not be able to use it depending on mobo, both 850 and 840 series are great id get a 840 to save a bit of money due to a negligible performance drop, and compare the speeds of the 840 with the Intel 2500 online yourself to see if the extra or lack of performance makes the difference, any drive with both read and write performance over 500 MB/s will suffice easily for any gaming, streaming or Internet browsing rig, maybe faster or a Raid setup for a workstation but still enough

Intel Pro or Samsung seems ok. I don't know that lite-on make SSDs
