Hey everyone!

I am looking to purchase an SSD for my system. I intend to slowly purchase newer components until I can eventually piece together an entire new one.

Anyway, I am looking at these two SSDs:

Samsung
&
Corsair

Which one would be a better choice to purchase? Or should I get an entirely different one?

Thanks!

Edit: Silly question: Does the SSD come with a Sata cable? I may need to buy a couple more otherwise!

Mine was a bare drive with a CD and warranty card. No cable. Samsung kits are available for about $20 more which contain a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket, an USB to SATA adapter and (maybe) SATA cable.

I personally would go for the Samsung 840 Evo, they are a incredible SSD and perform extremely well, not saying that the corsair is a bad SSD but I would always go for the Samsung for performance, price and it also looks good in my opinion.

Hope I helped :)

I thought that was the general consensus.
I wanted to get an SSD to free up space on my HDD and for a bit more speed, haha. I'm wondering though, is there anything glaring which would put off the Corsair SSD? I read on the HeXus forums, that somebody has run tests using the Samsung 840 where it does not perform nearly as good as stated it should.

The 840 SSD is an amazing SSD, people probably plug them into the slower sata ports and complain, trust me they are amazing and worth the money, although I don't understand why you want an SSD for storage over a HDD, usually people would use an SSD for the operating system for quick start-up, if you want storage a 1tb HDD is what I would recommend although it isn't as fast you get about 9-10x the amount of storage for around the same price.

Hope I helped :)

Oh, I know a HDD is what is best for mass storage. I meant I am freeing up space by using the SSD for the OS, rather than it sitting on my rather small hard drive hehe. I will eventually be buying a 2TB HDD however, as I plan to build a brand new system which will better suit me :)
