Hey guys,

Basically I'm wanting/saving to upgrade to an SSD, however I'm a bit stuck on which path I should take.

My budget is £150, and I'm looking for ideally 250Gb of Storage Minimum.

I've seen the 960 has about 100MB/s more than the SM961 on both Read & Write, however one is £30 cheaper - It won't really be noticeable is it? (I'm assuming not since that's benchmarks and I wouldn't get near those speeds during things such as gaming)

Also, is there any cons to the SM961 compared to the 960 and visa versa?

Speed wise you won't notice any difference, the only con with the SM961 is that the Samsung magician doesn't recognise it as a drive to allow you to do firmware updates. (It does see it, just won't let you update firmware)
