So here's the problem my country lacks samsung SSDs.

I want a 120gb SSD to complete my ( 4770k+UD4H+16gb RAMs)
Since I can't import anything from abroad please don't suggest anything outside the list :D

These are my options:

1. Kingston HyperX 3k
2. Kingston V300
3. Intel 530
4. ADATA XPG SX910 ( I've never heard of it before today?)

Thanks in advance

Well, if you can get a samsung 840, I'd get that over the intel. In reality, they're all pretty much the same, but I know Samsung's ssd's are really reliable and haven't really had any firmware problems as far as I'm aware. In terms of life span, all of them should have long life spans, so I wouldn't worry about that. They have MTBF's of 1-1.5 million hours (over 100 years), with the Samsung 840 having the longest at 1.5million. The intel has an MTBF of 1.2...

Well, just found out that I can get a samsung 840 (normal one not pro or evo) for about the same price as the rest... The difference between them is negligible compared to the full price of the PC... But in terms of general speed and life span? Which would be the best ?

Of course other factors will prevent these from reaching such a lifespan, but its safe to assume all will be fine for at least 5 years, if not 10 and will outlive pretty much all other parts in your computer.

So if they're pretty much the same but samsung's a better brand basically? I think I might end up with the intel simply because the shop where I use gonna get the samsung is a bit far, and since they're more or less the same intel's more convenient.. Thanks

Glad we could help! Yea, if the intel is much more convenient to purchase, definitely just get that.
