Spec me SSD?

Baron C · 19 Aug 2014 at 02:32

Hi guys,

I currently run a Crucuial m4 128gb for my OS.
I have a 500gb seagate mechanical drive for my data etc..

I would like to swap out the seagate for a larger capacity ssd.

I'm willing to spend upto a couple of hundred ££.

I also have an msata capability on my Maximus gene v, although i dont know how reliable it is.( i do know that it requires a socket like module to be used)

(I will be using the mechanical as a backup external drive, just in case)

Recommendations?

I was looking at that ssd. I wonder why it's so much cheaper than the MT versions?

Some people have had freezing issues with the mx100.

idk what the difference is,could be cheaper nand memory

freezing issues only on some hardware id try first as you can always return it

The Samsung 500 GB Evo 840 is £180. I'm not sure why the laptop kit is cheaper than the bare drive, but there you go.

Hi Nacht,

You are right the laptop kits are normally cheaper but every now and then I do a little price drop to clear through some stock as they don't sell as many as normal drives so they build up stock and I help out by offering them to my customers at a great price.

Snap up a bargain while you can.
