What's better, sequential or random read/write speeds? Cause it looks like the Kingston has better sequential but the Samsung has better random?? I'm confused :S

There are many SSDs which are "good", but personally I would go with the Samsung 850 EVO series because they have high read write speeds, and they back their drives up with a 5 year warranty. You will pay a bit more though. Also, what will you be using this for? If you're not doing something that requires high performance from your SSD then go for a cheaper one, or wait for Black Friday (or a likewise day, boxing day, etc). Use the extra bucks to upgrade your GPU, or to get a 1tb SSHD for storage if you haven't already.
