Hi I am stuck on a decision on which ssd I should buy that is better for my current motherboard. This is because I heard that there is some bottleneck regarding the asmedia sata 3 controller.

My motherboard is the Asus P8H61-M Pro and I need some recommendations on which 120GB SSD I should purchase.

The SSDs I were looking at are the Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB (MLC) and the Samsung 120GB 840 EVO (TLC).

My budget is between £70-£90.

Which one will offer me faster speeds and reliability/longevity?

Thank you very much for any help.

Your board has these sata 3's:

ASMedia® ASM1061 controller :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), navy blue

They will work OK for you. And I doubt that you will be disappointed with the Samsung HyperX. I have a 240GB HyperX on my second comp and it is amazingly fast.
