Better SSD?

    Hello,

    I came across this on bargains and since I was planning on buying a 240gb ssd this will save me a respectable 6-8 quid.

    The website has multiple 240gb SSD's for the 30 euro range and I was wondering which is better?

    https://www.mymemory.ie/memory/data-storage/ssd-drives.html?capacity=109

    Currently it's between the Kingston or one of the Integrals, which one is better?

    Thanks.

    While it does say it has better speed it seems hard to find info on the Integral ssd and most info seems to be years old.

    The Kingston ssd seems to have more reviews and info as seems to be newer.

    Does this matter or should I just go with the Integral ssd?

    Get the Integral P series (INSSD240GS625P5) - it has the highest MTBF rating (2 million hours) and is the newest drive (July 2018 release).

    Integral's are really barebones. No firmware updater or updates. Doesnt present its model/ID to Bios/PC ("SATA SSD").

    I use one for games but I wouldn't trust it for my OS tbh. When SSDs die they do so suddenly and without warning and thats a headache you don't need.

    Have the intergral P series version 2 and a kingston both 240GB, hard to say which is better as they are in completely different devices but the intergral seems to be the faster drive.
