I'm struggling to choose between these three drives.
I currently have a 500GB Samsung 840 Evo as my primary drive and I'd like a second SSD, mostly due to space constraints. I won't get into it too much but I can't just add a mechanical drive for extra capacity because it will mean reintroducing HDD cages to my system
The new SSD will act as either a D drive or it will replace the existing Evo as my C drive if it's significantly faster.
It's between the:
Crucial MX100 512GB - £150
Samsung 840 Evo 500GB - £180
SanDisk Extreme 2 480GB - £190
Speed is obviously important but I'm not going to be running synthetic benchmarks on them all day so if the real world performance differences are negligible then it doesn't matter. In saying that though, the Evo should be a baseline - I wouldn't want to spend more than I spent on the Evo (£100) on a slower drive)
My main concerns are longevity, reliability and consistency
Thanks for looking
