SSD recommendations?

Bruno Batista

Looking for a SSD for a new build.

It's going to be used for the OS and programs/games, so looking for a 500mb one.

Currently looking at Samsung 840 EVO 500GB for 160 pounds or or maybe a Crucial one for 150 pounds, but open to suggestions?

And of course, if there was a bricks & mortar shop in Dublin that would have decent prices, that would be preferable!


Cheers for any help!

Amazon would be a much better place to buy in every respect. Some good price drops on the 840EVO and its a great SSD. I love all the toys like Rapid mode.

Heard good things about the Crucial MX100 for price vs performance: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KFAGCUM

Crucial MX100 gets my vote as well. (Slightly) more space, cheaper, and comes with some enterprise-grade relability stuff (If I remember correctly) that the Evo doesn't, for whatever that's worth.

Cheers, will jump on that Crucial, then!

Crucial for me also. Great value.

The stats show the Evo on Top.

Reliability is difficult to judge on the MX100 as it's a very new model.

Evo for me.

Cheers, maik3n, but looking for a bigger one, want to run it as the main disk, for the OS, programs and games.
