Hey guys and gals. I want to upgrade my desktop with an SSD. I've narrowed my options down to these two drives.

The prices in my country (converted from Turkish lira to USD):

Samsung 840 Evo 250gb - 170 usd
Kingston SSDNow V300 240gb - 127 usd

Benchmarks comparing these drives:

What I'm wondering is this: Is there enough real-world performance to justify paying 1/3 more money for the Evo?

Thanks a lot for the answers :)

Get the 840 Evo. The V300 does not reach advertised speeds by a long shot.

Kingston changed some parts in the V300 without telling anyone. The V300 used to be good but it's utter crap now. I'm speaking from experience. I have both a V300 and a 840 Evo and there's a serious, noticable difference.
