What SSD?

robfosters · 22 Dec 2012 at 19:11

Could someone give me advice on a good SSD please?

Ideally I would like 100GB or above and want to pay up to £100. The drive will be used for a win 8 install and games.

Thanks.

The 840 is on special this week and cheaper than the 830. Is that a better drive?

Yh it has better write speeds and better nand memory,if your not fussed about those things then the 840 is ok

I thought the 830 was better than the 840 (non-pro)?

It is,better write and nand

The 840 Pro is on offer this week too, I'd personally pay the extra £20 for the 840 Pro over the 830.

Also, the 840s come with Assassins Creed 3 if bought before the end of December (http://www.samsung.com/uk/assassinscreed3/) if that swings your decision?

Or does the AC3 deal not apply at Overclockers?

Edit: And only on the 256GB drives? :/

You won't see any difference so just for the sake of more durable memory I would go with the 830 unless the 840 is cheaper.

More durable? As in it lasts longer?
