Atleast 500GB

Would also like to know on how to migrate my OS to the new SSD :)

The 850EVO would be a good option, as for the OS ideally it would be best practice to do a clean install but you can always use a migration software if needed.

Would consider the 850! price is just right too for my budget! Any recommendations for a migration software?

Samsung has their own software that you can use, I've used it before with little trouble.

I believe Samsung has their own, paragon is also out there and not too bad.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

As for software, I've used AcronisTrueImage and had no problems. Look at HDClone and AOMEI Backupper as well.
