I want to build a new gaming pc, and I can get (where I live, not the US) the two for the exact same price, and I don't care that the Corsair one has 10GB less, as I will intentionally not fill it up completely so windows has a place to breathe, and not to leak to my second Seagate 3TB.

So, which one is better? I know that the Corsair one is pretty fast for the price (something like 515 read and 480 write), but I know nothing about the BX drive, so which one is better?

any specific reason (other then performance)? because I have done some googling, and the Crucial is slightly faster in reads, and the corsair is slightly faster in writes, so I consider it even...

from what I hear, the BX series is just the MX100 series, but smaller transistors (16nm). is the correct? because if so, I would scrap that Corsair one :p

The 'slightly faster, slightly slower' is not something you will actually see in actual use.
Go for reliability, instead of some contrived benchmarks.

so you think that the Corsair one is not reliable compared to the Crucial one?
can you please answer the question I asked SR-71 Blackbird?

Flash memory is flash memory, and all things being equal, it should all work the same. However, it doesn't. There are several different things to consider. The way the memory is read/written for instance is almost totally different in intel/Kingston SSDs vrs Samsung. Samsung and Crucial use their own, in house, system and it has worked extremely well and reliably with very little comparative incompatibilities overall. The older intel/Kingston/SanDisk had more than their share of driver issues.
Is there a real world difference in performance? Not really anything you'd see unless running 2x identical pc's simultaneously etc and comparing results. Which really ends up being a difference in benchmarks.

What does make a difference is performance over time, quality of components, reliability of components, silicon, processing etc, and thats where Crucial and Samsung both have the edge over the Intel based SSDs.
