Upgrading to SSD

Home build needs to get with the times, so looking at getting her an SSD.

Looking to choose between these two so far:

and

Leaning towards the first one as the name sounds faster :P, doesn't seem to be much difference between them otherwise that I can see.

Any thoughts or other suggestions around the same price band?

Don't get the v300 anyway. Basically when it came out they sent them out to reviews who said they were decent, then they changed some of the ssd to cheaper parts and sold them, leaving customers with much worse ssds. Samsung 850 is probably the best bet if you can push to it.

Does the Hyper Fury gave the same issue? Samsung is out of my price range I'm afraid.

I've a grand v300, couldn't complain about it. Most Kingston, Crucial or Samsung drives are fine tbh

I'd imagine reliability isn't as much as an issue as with a HDD.
