I just want to know if there are any issues with any of them: Kingstone V300, and Sandisk
and wich is better, cause bough has the same prize in my country.
I can only afford 128GB (65cuc),the Samsung EVO 128GB is (90-110cuc).
So my question is will I get any issues if I get the V300 or Sandisk?, cause if there are issues Id prefer waiting in order to get an EVO(and believeme its been a lot of time waiting to prices to drop).
I know everybody will recommend me 256GB minimun, but I can not afford it.

I have a 120GB intel M.2 as my boot drive. I keep only FF14 on there for games, everything else gets installed on the spinning drive. You can make it work I have 70 gigs free atm, But you have to keep the drive clean so to speak, with disk cleanup etc.

(edit) I would hold out for the Samsung, I had a Sandisk crap out after 6 months, anecdotal evidence I know but I figure you get what you pay for.

I installed an old Kingston SSD in my system in order to test it from a friend of me, I cant remenber it it was aV100 or V200, but I got really shock with its performance(booting in just 6-7seconds), I am just imaging what that V300 can do for me compared to my mecanical HDD.

It vanished from the bios, controller failure I assumed as I tried in in another machine to no avail. I have a cheap samsung 840 which was purchased to replace and it's still going strong. Like I said anecdotal, one case does not mean they are all bad.

ohh, thats is why I must be really sure before purchase a SSD, cause once I get it, my garantee will be only 7-15days, here we dont have store garantee.
So I have to go for sure(EVO is just comming to my mind despite the price).
