Hello, I'm looking to buy myself an SSD for my gaming rig just for windows 7 and programs, but I was wondering which SSD would be better.


Patriot Blaze PB120GS25SSDR 120G SATA3 SSD Solid State Drive - $59 ($72.62 after shipping & handling fees)

or

Kingston SV300S37A/120G 120GB SSDNOW V300 SATA3 2.5" SSD Solid State Drive - $72 ($85.68 after shipping and handling fees)

I'd like to get an SSD that would last long and be the fastest, in which I'm believing the Kingston would be a-lot better, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kingston is the best of the two.

It's better to avoid Patriot Blaze SSD, as it has very poor Read speed. Even though it does somewhat better on Write speed, doesn't perform consistently on benchmark tests.

Update:

In terms of "Reliability" and "Performance", you certainly need to spend a bit and get either Samsung EVO 850 or Intel 530.

If you're looking for more in-depth opinion. Check my detailed suggestion on this thread:
