Which SSD?

I'm currently using the 120GB Samsung 840 Evo, is it a huge upgrade or stick with what I have?
If you already have the 840 with the latest firmware you won't really notice much difference if any.
You would be better off going for a larger capacity, 250gb or 500gb perhaps.
if you already have a 120GB SSD then there is no point in upgrading to another 120GB SSD.
may as well get a bigger SSD for games etc or if you have a HDD for storage then stick with what you have.
i have 2 x 250GB Evo 850s, one for OS and one for games

If you have an 840, install the latest version of Samsung Magician (4.7), this will give you the option to get the latest firmware. There were huge slowdown problems with the old firmware.
I have an 850 Evo and an 840 Evo. Great drives.

The 250 model Samsung evo also has higher read write speeds compared to a 120, the speeds increase up to the 500 GB model I think.
I think in the big scheme of things its not going to make a massive difference to you unless your going to use the new one for games rather than a HDD etc.
Personally I run 2 Samsung 850 evos 250, one for windows, one games and have a USB 3 external HDD enclosure to store my back up's on that's only powered up for tasks to avoid start up delays.
Seems to work well for me!

On my currently SSD, I've about 25-30GB free
I have software such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop, VMWare and etc for university on the SSD and store other files on my 1TB internal hard drive but I don't game a lot so I should stick with my current SSD instead of getting the 850 Evo?The 250 model Samsung evo also has higher read write speeds compared to a 120, the speeds increase up to the 500 GB model I think.
