Expensive or "budget" SSD

[wonderlust]

Is it worth buying a more expensive ssd drive like Samsung evo and hyperx savage etc. , or look for the better value drives like Crucial and OCZ or even other brands?

For example Samsung evo 250GB in my country is 100 euro.

and Crucial 270GB is 85 euro. 

20 gigs more for less money 

The difference in write speed written on the specification is 20mb/s in favour for the evo.

i would say budget. because i never had an ssd and i'm fine just without it. however i'm soon getting a new pc. and gonna get like 250gb ssd. budget one. anything is better then nothing.

MX300 is nice.

 

MyDigitalSSD units? OCZ?

 

But if you are coming from old hard drive any unit would do

yeah go with the crucial one,

 

evo isn't worth the extra 25 eur

i´m running 4x 64gb OAF Enterprice ssd´s "sata 150m/s" in ex. htpc and thy are way better than an HDD..

but in betwen my:
2x 120gb ADATA SU650  (Not Raid)
my Crusial MX300 240gb
my Samsung Evo 850 250gb
my 2x Crusial mx300 275gb (Not Raid)

i cant notis any diference !

Never noticed any difference in performance between budget and my Samsung drives. But I'm still using my Samsung drives and the budget ones died with similar use.

So Samsung for longevity? (In my limited experience ymmv)

I'd go with the MX500 (or 300 if they're cheaper), or if you have a healthy budget, then get something like a 960 EVO for those ever-so-slightly faster load times.

 

You have to think of an SSD like buying a car for city use.

Either one will get you from point A to point B at about the same speed. One just has the potential to go much faster for long trips.

The funny part is I just noticed that MX500 is even cheaper than MX300

you can get the samsung for way less than that. Amazon germany has it for 80 euros for example.
