Any one recommend an SSD?

Yussefoh · Sep 29, 2013

Hi I was thinking of buy this http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2-5-Inch-SH103S3-240G/dp/B007R67FTY/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1380480211&sr=1-2&keywords=HyperX+SSD the 240GB Version, but do you know any reliable faster ones maybe? For cheaper or same price? Or even a little bit more possibly? I want speed and reliability. (Even more storage if possible)

Thank you for reading, I hope you have a nice day.

Samsung Pro/EVO are the top tier SSDs right now. The Kingston drives are nice, only 3 year warranty though (compared to 5 years with Samsung/Intel and a couple others).

TigerDirect has a deal on Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, same price $179: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8466637&SRCCODE=WEBGOOPA&cm_mmc_o=mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCV1-CjCE&gclid=CNOwg4Df8bkCFUlp7Aod1BQAQw

EDIT: same EVO, cheaper here at $165: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300977665611

ACTechy :

It seems weaker with reads? I'm not really sure what the whole read and write thing is, but I have seen some places Read over write? And also Access drive?

Yussefoh :

540 reads/520 writes is blazing fast. There aren't many faster, what are you comparing to? Generally speaking, read speeds are faster than write speeds.

ACTechy :

The kingston 555 Read and 510 writes.

I have a Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD on my second comp and it is seriously fast.

I just installed a SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD on a new build for a friend. Updated the firmware before installing windows and it is blazing fast too. I was impressed. Got it on sale for $149.99, tax free and free shipping.

Updating the firmware was a snap too! Shop around and you can find some good deals on SSD's now.

Yussefoh :

Only behind 15MB/s is nothing, and write speeds beat the Kingston. I'd go for Samsung reliability and warranty over 15MB/s read no problem.

ACTechy :

So what you're saying is, reliability over speed?

ACTechy · Oct 4, 2013

Yussefoh :

Sure, but I'm also saying 15MB/s is nothing, so to me it's not even a question
