ssd reco

hi guys, wondering which 250-300gb ssd to buy in amazon right now? what is a good n cheap deal ah? can intro?

My personal guide for buying off Amazon

Kingston is now on my blacklist for SSD as a result of their idiotic & unethical stealth NAND swap - AnandTech | An Update to Kingston SSDNow V300: A Switch to Slower Micron NAND

If you need cheap & reliable = Crucial MX100
If you write 100GB a day = Intel 730
If you like 5-yr warranty = Intel 530
If you using laptop = Samsung 840 Evo
If you got $ to burn = Samsung 850 Pro

Coincidentally, it also means: "Get SSDs only from NAND manufacturers"

mx100 will be a good deal.

If you want performance wise, Samsung evo but buy in amazon.

Saw this in the other thread. So are Crucial SSDs still recommended ?

Personally I would stay well away from any Crucial SSDs. Have you read through their warranty terms of service?

NCIX FORUMS - Crucial SSD Warranty

Samsung evo owns all ssd in its price range local ard 170 now plus it has a very useful magician utility app.Just Google its benchmarks trashes every brand out there. Only downside is it dors'nt give free brackets.

I will go for the cheapest and reliable one. Have to read reviews and users comments. And feedbacks
