Kingston V300 vs Crutial M500

Enderegg · Apr 5, 2014

Crutial says that it has 500MB/250MB read write, and Kingston 450MB/450MB read write.

What would you get? Thanks!

M500 is somewhat faster and has a better controller. Would be my pick. It's more expensive, though, but check out this comparison: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Kingston-SSDNow-V300-240GB-vs-Crucial-M500-240GB/1817vs1551

I would add another 15~20$ get Samsung 840 EVO (540/410)

Also Kingston V300 SSD's have problems http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/an-update-to-kingston-ssdnow-v300-a-switch-to-slower-micron-nand

True. The Samsung 840 EVO is considered one of the very best SSDs in the market.

The Samsung is 20£ more expensive. And I don't think I'll notice the difference. Thanks though

Yeah, guess you won't. My Seagate Barracuda HDD is running very fast, so the M500 will be just great. Cheers!
