Looking for an SSD for my system. Don't want to spend money on speeds I can't utilize or bells and whistles I can't use/are unnecessary.

Also if anyone out there can speak to the what I have seen called the "endurance" of an SSD and what that means in the real world. Is 80TB sufficient? I have noticed that Samsung's EVO have a considerably larger number there, something like 150TB.

Thanks in advance peeps!

Solution
250 GB Samsung 840 Evo for ~ $100
256 GB Crucial mx100 for ~ $100
Both of these are solid performers with the best capacity and speed per dollar. Get larger if you like. If you go smaller, you won't save much for the space you lose.
