Which 250Gb SSD?

Super-Spy · 4 Apr 2013 at 11:54

Hi all,

I am looking to buy an SSD for my OS and installing programs/games. All data will be kept on a separate hard drive.

The Samsung 840 Pro looks quite attractively priced - is this a good choice or should I be looking at other SSDs ?

Speed & Reliability will be the most important consideration factors

I'm looking at the 840 pro to replace my borked m4.

Reckon it's the best choice at the moment.

the sam 840 pro and the ocz vector are the fastest drives atm

Thanks guys. The Sammy looks like good value.

I was also looking at the Corsair Neutron GTX as well as the OCZ but I think the Sammy might be the one for me

The Samsung has a cashback offer at the moment too.

Don't touch ocz, they have by far the highest failure rate.

840 pro, remember to wack it on your Intel 6gb/s SATA port if you have one, some motherboards have 2 different ports, mine has asmedia (which is slow) and intel (provides max speeds).

I think I would also be very weary of their financial state atm (warranty etc).
Will they be trading in 12 months???

samsung 840 cashback makes it the best.

Yes, I think you guys are right. I will go fro the Samsung 840 Pro.

I will see if OCUK have any at their Gadget Show stand this weekend
