What do I look forward on an ssd for gaming? What brand is recommended? Is there a difference between types of ssd's?

TheLegendCreator · Mar 16, 2015

I know the basic faster performance of an ssd especially faster boot up, but what I'm looking forward is what TYPE of ssd should I buy. Is there like "specific frequencies" like how ram works or they all work the same? I rely mostly on corsair or samsung ssd's but if there is a different brand that you guys can recommend, then I'm more than happy to know.

I'm planning to get a 1tb of ssd for games btw and I'm running windows 8.1

Also where would I get one at a cheaper price?

Samsung has best performance, Crucial has nice read speeds and a good bang for your buck, Intel has best reliability and warranty.

Samsung 850 EVO, 1TB, 2.5", SATA6G, 540/520MB/s
OR
Samsung 850 PRO, 1TB, 2.5", SATA6G, 550/520MB/s

As stated above 850 evo is best. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372
1tb ssds are expensive if you can afford it go for it but you can use another hdd to save data on and keep ssd for programs and os. Also with a new ssd make sure you reinstall windows.

yes, defintly. you dont want to but it and then it doesnt work. on his point. if it is alittle out of budget maybe try a 250 gb or 500gb and then get another HDD, but i asume you one of the lucky ones who can get a 1tb. enjoy
