I'll be getting a new laptop soon and I'm wondering what the differences are between these two SSDs. I'll probably be putting them in a Sager NP9377 from xoticpc.com. Both SSDs cost the same price but the Samsung 850 EVO has 120 GB vs Micron M600's 128 GB (both for $100) or Samsung 850 EVO with 250 GB vs Micron M600 with 256 GB (both for $160) . I know it's a small difference but this is my first experience with an SSD so I just want to make sure I make the right decision. I'll be putting the OS on the SSD so what capacity do you recommend? Thank you.

The samsung ssd is used by many peoples so I would go for that. Even if the other one does have more space dosnt mean that its gonna have more. Ssd usually leave a litle bit space for best performance (it depends). If you gonna have this for you main pc go for 250gb. If you just gonna have it for school, work or secondary pc you can go with the 150gb one. I recommend 250gb cos its just more space. You cant fit many games or large programs on a 150gb ssd. If you have a hdd too in the laptop, its up too you how much ssd space you need
