SSD For Ubuntu 18.10

[suarve]

Hi,

I'm looking to install Ubuntu 18.10 on a separate SSD.

I have a the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...cket-1150-ddr3-atx-motherboard-mb-612-as.html motherboard which I assume means I'd need a SATA type drive.

Storage wise looking for 500 GB - 1TB.

Ages ago the Samsung 850 Evo was one of the best drives going is. IS this still the case, what would you recommend?

Cheers

Cheers for that. Was about to suggest https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...olid-state-drive-mz-76e1t0b-eu-hd-234-sa.html. But that seems pretty overpriced now - 1TB for 169.99 (granted, it is slightly overpriced on OcUK )

EDIT: why is https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...olid-state-drive-mz-76p1t0b-eu-hd-239-sa.html priced way higher compared to the "evo" ssd? Also, I've noticed the prices appear to jump up a lot for 1TB models. I guess it makes more sense to purchase a ~500 GB model and get an extra drive if I need to space.
