I would get a Samsung 860 EVO or Crucial MX500 at that price point, the 250GB option, obviously.

Samsung 860 EVO

If you're looking to save a few extra bucks the 850 EVO with RAPID mode is just as good. You will be missing out on a performance increase going with this option.

I'd buy a 256GB 960 EVO. If you can buy today, eBay is doing a 20% off promo code, PSPRING20, which would bring the price down to $100. If you want to spend less, you could get a 128GB PM961 as well.

Ebay links aren't allowed, sorry.

 

OP: I would go for a Crucial MX300/500 or a Samsung 850 Evo in the 250Gb range.

That's a really weird policy.

Edit: From the rules:

Quote

eBay/trading sites, personal websites or businesses except where appropriate. (Eg who can do data recovery in Vancouver, Anyone know where I can get this part?)

That seems appropriate.

It is a little weird, but there's always the risk of self advertising when posting Ebay links.

According to the rules it looks like it would be okay in this case.

You can take it up with @Windspeed36 if you want, but self-advertising is against the rules and there's a risk of that when posting Ebay links in this context
